Ingredients
- ✓2 medium English cucumbers
- ✓170 g smoked salmon
- ✓0.5 small red onion
- ✓120 ml plain Greek yogurt
- ✓30 ml mayonnaise
- ✓15 ml fresh lemon juice
- ✓0.5 tsp lemon zest
- ✓45 ml fresh dill
- ✓15 ml capers
- ✓0.3 tsp garlic powder
- ✓0.5 tsp sea salt
- ✓0.3 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1
Toss the thinly sliced cucumbers with 0.3 teaspoon sea salt in a colander and let them rest over a bowl for 10 minutes to drain excess liquid.
💡
Tip:Removing moisture prevents the creamy dressing from turning watery.
2
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh dill, garlic powder, remaining salt, and cracked black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
💡
Tip:Adjust acidity by adding an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
3
Pat the drained cucumbers dry with a paper towel and transfer them to a wide mixing bowl alongside the shaved red onion and drained capers.
4
Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumber mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
5
Fold in the flaked smoked salmon gently to keep large, tender pieces intact, then transfer to a chilled platter to serve.
💡
Tip:Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill and cracked pepper for presentation.
📝 Chef's Notes
Best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the sliced cucumbers and dressing in separate containers and toss with the smoked salmon immediately before serving.
