Print Recipe

A fresh and creamy cucumber salad featuring crisp cucumbers, tangy feta, bright dill, and mild red onion, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thickness. Optionally peel cucumbers.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion and soak in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow sharpness.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Drain the red onion and add to the cucumbers in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss gently to coat without mashing cucumbers.
  5. Crumble feta cheese over the salad and sprinkle chopped dill. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Soaking the red onion in cold water mellows its sharpness. Slice cucumbers thinly to keep salad crisp and avoid sogginess. Chill salad for at least 20 minutes before serving for best flavor. Use fresh dill for best taste; dried dill can be substituted but use less.
