• English cucumbers: Adds crunch and freshness.
• Red onion: Gives color and a slightly sweet flavor.
• Plain Greek yogurt: Makes the dressing creamy and healthier than dressings that use mayo!

• Red wine vinegar: Adds a tangy kick.
• Lemon juice: Gives a citrusy flavor.
• Garlic: Adds a savory taste.
• Kosher salt: Enhances all of the flavors in the salad.
