Key Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Cucumber Salad-fresh cucumber, Greek yogurt, dill, chili flake.

I want the salad for everything, for lunch, dinner, or as a midday snack. When I crave something during the daytime, I prefer having this instead of dumping myself with fast food junk.

We must go along with nature and consume seasonal available fruits and vegetables. I feel nature is giving us excellent food according to the season.

The summer months bring Lots of fresh cucumbers from the backyard or other stores. These amazingly balance the body from the harshness of the season.

So, I'm trying to incorporate the seasonal vegetables as much as possible. And this Greek yogurt cucumber salad is one such delicious example.

I always come home with a bag full of cucumbers after every visit to the grocery store. Generally, I used to have them raw.

Slicing and sprinkling with salt and pepper is another simple way of consuming it, which tastes delicious. We usually used to intake a lot of cucumbers in the summertime.

It is convenient for me to munch on this cucumber as raw. But I cannot imagine serving this way to my son.

I should always give him in the form of well-made, good food. This is a more comfortable way to make my family eat vegetables.

I know every mom undergoes something like this all the time.

I like one thing about the Greek yogurt cucumber salad: it has no extra dressing or added fancy vegetables.

It is the point in the blank with only the ingredients it needs. It is simple and fulfills the idea of what it is served for.

This made me visit Greek restaurants very often nowadays.

 Greek yogurt cucumber salad is that does not have any extra dressing, no added fancy vegetables. It is the point in the blank and has only the ingredients what it does needs.

Key Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Cucumber Salad:

Greek Yogurt: I always buy plain yogurt from the market to make the salad. Because plain yogurt will not contradict the other ingredients.

If you use any flavored Greek yogurt, you may end up with a different dish than what you're trying to make.

Cucumbers: You may use any cucumber, English, petite cucumber, or others. Check before slicing them, as some may taste bitter.

And these are not good for the salad.

Dill leaves: You are lucky if you have this in your pantry. Seasoning with fresh leaves gives out more aroma. But in its absence, you may also use dried dill leaves.

Red Chili Flakes: I added red chili flakes to heat the salad. But adding it is optional.

How long does this salad last?

Store the leftover Greek yogurt cucumber salad in the sealed container. It stays good if it is consumed within a day.

The cucumber leaves out liquid if stored for a while, making the salad watery when stored longer.

Best to serve with

  • Spicy garlic lime chicken
  • Pan-fried garlic chicken
  • Cedar grilled lemon chicken
  • Indian coriander chicken
  • Coriander chicken curry
