Ingredients

• 2 medium (about 10 oz) cucumbers
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Thinly slice cucumbers into 1/4-inch rounds and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion and toss gently. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then drain any excess liquid.
2. Step 2: Whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped mint, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Step 3: Pour the yogurt dressing over the drained cucumber-onion mixture and toss until evenly coated. Chill for 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
