Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthwise, remove seeds if watery, and dice them.
  2. Lightly salt the cucumbers and place them in a colander for 10–15 minutes to release excess moisture.
  3. Pat or gently squeeze the cucumbers dry using a clean towel.
  4. In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Stir in fresh dill, parsley, and olive oil if using.
