Ingredients

6 servings

For the salad:

2 long English cucumbers (thinly sliced {peels left on})
1/2 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
3 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
2 green onions (green and white parts thinly chopped)
2 teaspoons fresh chives (chopped {optional})

For the dressing:

3/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 teaspoon sugar
salt & pepper to taste

Method

1
Thinly slice your cucumber and put in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the 2 teaspoon kosher salt on the cucumber, stir and let sit for 30 minutes. This process helps sweat the excess liquid out of the cucumbers.
2
In a medium mixing bowl combine the dressing ingredients in a mason jar or salad dressing container and stir together. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
3
After the 30 minutes stir the cucumber and drain the liquid out of the bowl. Use a paper towel to pat the cucumbers dry. Add the cucumbers back into the mixing bowl.
4
Add the red onion and the creamy dressing and stir well. Add the fresh parsley, dill, green onion and chives. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or serve immediately if necessary.

Notes

You can store this salad in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Feel free to add any fresh vegetables that you wish. I especially like tomatoes and radishes but keep in mind tomatoes won't hold up well in the fridge if you have leftovers.
