Yields 4-6 servings as a side
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup whole milk plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds cucumbers (about 4 medium)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion (about 1 small)
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh dill fronds
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Flaky salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice and oil together in a large bowl; set aside.
- Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 1-inch segments. Spread the pieces out on a cutting board, flat-side down, and use a heavy pot or skillet to smash the cucumber pieces and lightly crush them.
- Transfer the smashed cucumbers to the bowl with the yogurt. Add the red onion, dill and parsley, along with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt and a few big grinds of pepper. Toss gently to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
