Creamy Cucumber Salad is a delightful combination of crisp cucumbers, tangy yogurt, and zesty herbs, making it the perfect side dish for any meal or a refreshing snack on its own.
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly and patting them dry with a clean towel. You can leave the skin on for added crunch and nutrients or peel them if desired. Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even, paper-thin cuts.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and minced garlic for a touch of sweetness. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Fold in the finely chopped dill and parsley into the creamy dressing. The aromatic herbs will infuse the salad with refreshing flavors and a delightful aroma.
Season the Creamy Cucumber Salad with salt and pepper to taste. The seasoning will enhance the flavors of the cucumbers and elevate the overall taste of the dish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the Creamy Cucumber Salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
When ready to serve, transfer the Creamy Cucumber Salad to a serving bowl. For a final touch, garnish the salad with a few sprigs of fresh herbs on top.
