1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine yogurt, dill, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 30 g, Protein 1 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are great options as they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help the cucumbers absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad even more refreshing.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill and chives add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. You want the cucumbers to be coated in the dressing, but not swimming in it.

Conclusion:

Creamy Dilled Cucumber Salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. With its creamy dill dressing, crisp cucumbers, and tangy red onion, this salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing side dish, give this Creamy Dilled Cucumber Salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
