A traditional summer salad filled with cucumbers, tomatoes, and corn tossed in a tangy and sweet yogurt dill sauce.
Why We Love This Recipe
This salad holds a lot of nostalgia for me. My Mom used to make a version of this with simply cucumbers and red onions. My family is not a fan of raw red onions so my recipe omits the onions.
This salad pairs perfectly with summer BBQ foods that are spicy and heavy. It adds extra coolness with a pop of freshness from the crispy cucumbers, tomatoes, and fresh dill.
And the best part about this salad is that it’s super simple to make and is ready in minutes. It can also be made in advance.
Ingredients
- English Cucumber – I prefer English cucumbers over traditional garden cucumbers but if your garden is full of cucumbers, definitely use them for this salad.
- Cherry Tomatoes – I like to use heirloom cherry tomatoes because they are sweeter than red tomatoes and the different colors pop in this salad.
- Fresh or Frozen Corn – If you have fresh corn, cook it and cut it off the cob. If you choose to use frozen corn, be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before adding it to the salad.
- Greek Yogurt and Sour Cream – I like to use half yogurt and half sour cream, but they can be substituted if you only have yogurt or sour cream on hand.
