Ingredients
  

2 cups cucumbers, diced (approximately 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, finely chopped)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables:

    - Rinse the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. For the cucumbers, peel if desired, then dice into uniform, bite-sized pieces for even texture. Halve the cherry tomatoes and place both the diced cucumbers and tomato halves into a large mixing bowl.

      Add Onions:

        - Finely chop the red onion as small as possible for a milder flavor. Add the chopped red onion to the bowl with the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, allowing all the vibrant colors to combine.

          Make the Dressing:

            - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and dried dill. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well-integrated.

              Toss the Salad:

                - Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumber, tomato, and onion mixture. Gently fold the salad together, using a spatula or spoon, so that all the vegetables are beautifully coated in the rich dressing without bruising them.

                  Adjust Seasonings:

                    - Taste your salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or apple cider vinegar as necessary to reach your desired flavor balance.

                      Chill and Serve:

                        - Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld beautifully. When ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for an extra pop of color and flavor, if desired.

                          Enjoy your Refreshing Creamy Cucumber & Tomato Salad!
