Ingredients

2 cucumbers, thinly sliced

2 large carrots, grated

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dill weed (fresh or dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

Begin by preparing the cucumbers and carrots. Thinly slice the cucumbers and finely grate the carrots, placing them in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, dill weed, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, stir in the honey until well-mixed.

Add the finely chopped red onion to the cucumber and carrot mixture.

Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Before serving, give the salad a final gentle toss.
