Ingredients
  

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • ½ small yellow onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Splenda or your favorite sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

  • 1-2 teaspoons milk optional, to thin the dressing
  • chopped chives, to sprinkle on top optional

  1. Thinly slice the cucumbers and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar (or lemon juice), Splenda (or your favorite sweetener), dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. If you’d like a thinner dressing, whisk in 1–2 teaspoons of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
