1

Start by washing your cucumber thoroughly and slicing it in half lengthwise.

2

Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds to prevent excessive water in your salad.

3

Now, slice your cucumber into half-moon shapes, about 1/4 inch thick, and set them aside.

4

Next, peel and mince your garlic cloves finely. You can use a garlic press if you have one.

5

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt.

6

Stir in the minced garlic, and squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon to bring in that zesty flavor.

7

Next, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well until smooth and creamy.

8

Add the sliced cucumbers to the yogurt dressing along with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

9

Finally, chop your fresh dill and fold it into the salad for an aromatic finish.

10

Mix everything together gently until the cucumber is well coated with the dressing.

11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
