Salad Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Then, chop them into small half-moon slices.

Salt the Cucumbers
Place the chopped cucumbers in a colander, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This process helps to draw out excess moisture.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic (crushed or finely chopped), olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Combine Ingredients
After the cucumbers have sat, rinse them under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat them dry with paper towels. Add the cucumbers to the tzatziki sauce and gently mix until the cucumbers are well-coated.
