A quick and easy creamy dill cucumber tomato salad with a tangy Greek yogurt dressing, perfect for summer gatherings and a refreshing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel the cucumbers if preferred, then slice them thinly about 1/4 inch thick. Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces roughly 1 inch chunks. Thinly slice the red onion if using, and chop the fresh dill finely.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard if using. Add salt and pepper to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper). Whisk or shake until smooth. Slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.
  3. Toss the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and dill. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly, being careful not to crush the tomatoes.
  4. Rest and chill: Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dressing to soften the veggies.
  5. Final taste test: Before serving, gently stir the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Notes

Dry cucumbers well to prevent watery salad. Let salad chill for at least 20 minutes for best flavor. Adjust garlic and lemon juice to taste. Use fresh dill for best flavor. Salad is best eaten the same day but can be stored up to 2 days refrigerated. Stir before serving if liquid separates.
