Ingredients
  

2 cups cucumbers, diced (about 2 medium cucumbers)

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables:

    - Start by rinsing the cucumbers and tomatoes under cold water. Dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place both in a large mixing bowl.

      Add Onions:

        - Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with cucumbers and tomatoes.

          Make the Dressing:

            - In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, dried dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.

              Toss the Salad:

                - Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumber and tomato mixture. Gently toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

                  Adjust Seasonings:

                    - Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.

                      Chill and Serve:

                        - Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and garnish with fresh parsley if using.

                          Enjoy your Refreshing Creamy Cucumber & Tomato Salad!
