The Actual Recipe for the Best Cucumber Salad Known to Mankind

Apparently Lorell has been telling people that this recipe is on the blog. So here it is:
  • 2 large cucumbers, sliced very thin (not quite paper thin, but as thin as you can get them with a food processor or a knife).
  • 1/2 sweet onion, sliced thin (optional, this gets pretty oniony-reduce the amount if you don't like onions)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Spread the cucumber and onion slices on some paper towels and sprinkle them with the salt (You can also do this in a bowl, and then dump the moisture). The salt will draw moisture from the cucumbers. Let them sit for 30 minutes, then squeeze the moisture out of them.

While the cucumbers sit, mix the dressing:
  • 1/2 cup 0% fat greek yoghurt
  • 1 Tablespoon mayonaise
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons white vinegar.
  • 1 Teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 Teaspoon dried parsley


Mix this all up, then mix in the squeezed cucumbers and onions. Refrigerate for an hour or so.
