Scale
The beauty of this salad lies in its simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a dish that’s both satisfying and full of flavor.
- 3 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill for garnish (optional)
If you prefer, you can substitute the Greek yogurt with a vegan alternative to make this salad dairy-free. The feta could also be swapped for goat cheese for a slightly different flavor profile.
Instructions
Creating this salad is a breeze, much like the easygoing afternoons spent in Mama Lou’s kitchen.
- Start by preparing your cucumbers. Thinly slice them and place them in a large bowl.
- Add the finely sliced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the cucumbers.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be your creamy dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to combine. Ensure that each piece is coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the salad and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese and fresh dill, if using, for an extra burst of flavor.
- Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld—just as Mama Lou would let her dishes rest to reach their peak flavors.
