How To Make Healthy Cucumber Salad

Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the cucumber along with the chopped fresh dill.

Make the Dressing

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayo, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of the everything bagel seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the lemon juice to taste if you like it tangier.

Combine the Salad

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture. Gently toss everything together until well-coated.

Serve or Store

Serve immediately, or if making ahead, refrigerate the cucumber-onion mixture and the dressing separately for up to 3–4 hours. Toss everything together just before serving.
