Fresh cucumbers combined with yogurt or sour cream offer a light and refreshing taste. It will be a perfect companion at your barbecue parties or alongside your oven roasts. Come on, head to the kitchen and let's make this wonderful salad together!

- 1/2 onion (thinly sliced, optional)
- 1 large clove of garlic (grated)
- Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar (or Erythritol)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
Let's start by adding the sliced cucumbers to a large bowl and gently seasoning with salt. Let them sit for 20 minutes, then lightly squeeze to remove excess moisture and discard the liquid.

Pour the sauce over the cucumbers. You can also add sliced onions if you like. Now mix and ensure all ingredients are well combined.
