Ingredients:

  • 1 lb English cucumber, diced small
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Dice the cucumbers into uniform 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. Toss cucumbers in a colander with kosher salt and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Rinse the cucumbers quickly with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel until tacky.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, oregano, and black pepper until smooth and glossy.
  5. Fold the drained cucumbers, minced red onion, and fresh dill into the dressing, stirring until evenly coated.
  6. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and garnish with lemon zest.
