Cucumber Salad with Herb Dressing


This was a perfect summer salad. The coolness of the cucumbers, paired with the flavors of the herbs and the tartness of the lemon juice, made for a great side dish! Plus, it is easy to make and prepared in a few minutes. I loved the tanginess! One note: the cucumbers will add a bit of water to the salad, so only dress when ready to serve.

1/4 C non-fat yogurt
2 T chopped fresh dill
1 T chopped fresh parsley
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 t. chopped fresh mint
2 t. Dijon mustard
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
1 garlic clove
2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 large red onion, thinly sliced

Combine first ingredients, though garlic, in a food processor. Combine the cucumber and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with yogurt dressing; toss to coat.
