Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 5 plum tomatoes or vine ripe tomatoes, lightly seeded and diced
  • 1-2 medium cucumbers, peeled and cut lengthwise - lightly seeded and cut in half moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut in half and thin sliced
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt (see note below)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons fresh dill, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Yogurt ... If you can't find Greek yogurt, plain yogurt works fine; however, I do like strain it over night to get a rich thick yogurt consistency. Add plain yogurt to a coffee filter and place in a strainer or colander and place over a bowl. Cover and refrigerate over night. The next day you will left with a creamy thick yogurt and all the extra water will have drained out.

  • Step 2: Cucumbers ... Prepare the cucumbers and place on a couple of paper towels to absorb some of the liquid, just 5 minutes as you prepare the other vegetables.

  • Step 3: Salad ... Mix the yogurt, garlic, dill, sugar and a pinch of both salt and pepper. Add to a bowl along with the tomatoes, cucumber, onion and toss. Check for seasoning and adjust as needed. And, as I said, this isn't an exact salad, you can add more or less of any of the vegetables depending on your taste.

  • Step 4: Serve ... Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving. This is also really nice served over a bed of greens too. ENJOY!
