Refreshing Creamy Cucumber Salad: A Cool and Crisp Side Dish

Start by peeling the cucumbers (if desired) and slicing them thinly. If you prefer a crisper texture, you can leave the skin on.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes. This will help remove excess water from the cucumbers, making the salad crispier and less watery.
Make the creamy dressing:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar (or lemon juice), garlic powder, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine the ingredients:

Once the cucumbers have released some of their moisture, gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess water.
Add the cucumbers to the dressing and toss to coat evenly. If using, add the finely chopped onions and stir them in.
Chill and serve:

For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a side dish, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes for a little extra kick, if desired.
