Learn how to make delicious Cucumber Snack. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a creamier texture or add a pinch of smoked paprika for a hint of warmth. Mama Lou always encouraged us to experiment and make the recipe our own, and I hope you’ll do the same.

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly. Mama Lou always said that a clean start makes for a brighter dish, and I couldn’t agree more.
  2. Thinly slice the cucumbers using a sharp knife or a mandoline for uniformity. Remember, it’s these little details that make each bite perfect.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, dill, and garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl and gently toss them with the yogurt mixture until each slice is evenly coated.
  5. Let the cucumbers sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, much like the harmony in Mama Lou’s garden.
  6. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving.

As you prepare this snack, keep in mind Mama Lou’s advice: “A dish is a reflection of the love you put into it.” Each step is a chance to infuse your own warmth and care into the recipe.
