Greek Cucumber Salad


This is one of those salads that is nice to make ahead of time so that you can let the flavors mingle a bit while it chills out in the fridge. The crisp and juicy cucumbers go so well with a creamy coating made slightly tangy by the Greek yogurt and lemon and the red onion provides a bit of sweet pungency and the fresh dill finishes the salad off perfectly. This salad is best served straight from the fridge while it is still cool which makes it a great way to beat the heat.
Ingredients
·         1 large cucumber (sliced)
·         1/4 cup red onion (sliced)
·         2 tablespoons sour cream
·         2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
·         1 tablespoon lemon juice
·         1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
·         1 handful dill (chopped)
·         salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
Combine everything and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 20 minutes.
