Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, spiralized (or thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for warmth)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- ½ teaspoon honey (optional, for slight sweetness)
For Garnish:
- Extra fresh dill and mint
- A drizzle of olive oil
- A sprinkle of sumac or paprika (optional, for color)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and spiralize them using a spiralizer. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can thinly slice the cucumbers into long strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.
Place the spiraled cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then gently squeeze out excess water with a paper towel. This prevents the salad from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, dill, mint, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Gently toss the spiraled cucumbers with the yogurt dressing until evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with extra dill, mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sumac or paprika for added color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
