This light and refreshing salad combines cucumbers, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, garlic and a touch of sugar. A perfect side dish for grilled chicken. 
Whenever I make my Go to Grilled Greek Chicken, this cucumber salad is the perfect accompaniment.
The fresh dill, lemon and garlic boost the flavor of the Greek yogurt to make a delicious tzatziki sauce.
A touch of sugar gives it a subtle sweetness that calms the lemon and garlic.
Mix them together, top with some fresh feta and it’s ready to serve. That’s it, that’s all.
Easy never tasted so good.

This looks so yummy and perfect for summertime!
I use my homemade yogurt to make this salad. This is a salad we eat tons of during the summer when the cucumbers are over flowing.
This would be so nice and refreshing during the summer!
Looks yummy! I tried to make a tzatziki sauce once before and it turned out kind of bland. Maybe I’ll give yours a try!
Hope you like it! This one has a good kick of flavor!
This looks delicious and definitely would be great with grilled chicken or pork! I often make a tomato and cucumber salad with a little red wine vinegar and dill vinaigrette then the tzatziki on the side. All in one seems like a great way to round out a greek meal 🙂
Thank you! It worked beautifully and love how easy it is to throw together a flavorful meal!
