Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 salad onion or green onion, finely chopped
  • 6 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic, grated
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • knife or mandoline
  • whisk
  • spoon

Method
 

  1. Slice cucumbers thinly using a knife or mandoline.
  2. Finely chop the onion and set aside.
  3. Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add cucumbers and onion to the bowl and toss gently to coat.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to chill and develop flavor.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve cold.

Notes

Salt cucumbers lightly and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess water. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best texture. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving for best flavor. Add parsley just before serving to keep it fresh.
