A refreshing and creamy cucumber salad featuring Greek yogurt, fresh dill, radishes, and mint, perfect for warm-weather meals and light lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 5–6 large radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers and radishes thoroughly. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cucumbers thinly (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm thick). Do the same with the radishes.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 small minced garlic clove. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint.
  4. Add the sliced cucumbers and radishes to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat every slice.
  5. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper over the salad. Toss lightly and taste to adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat cucumber slices dry with paper towels before mixing to prevent sogginess. Prepare dressing ahead and toss veggies just before serving to keep salad crisp. Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and less water. Chill salad at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Adjust salt carefully to avoid over-salting.
