Ingredients

For the Salad Base:

2 cups English cucumber thinly sliced
150 grams smoked trout flaked into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh dill chopped

For the Dressing:

½ cup Greek yogurt full fat recommended
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic minced
½ tsp sea salt adjust to taste
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, flaked smoked trout, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh dill.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create a creamy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and trout mixture. Gently toss until well coated, ensuring the trout remains in tender flakes.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a wedge of lemon.

Notes

For an extra burst of freshness, add thinly sliced radishes or a handful of capers.
If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute half the Greek yogurt with sour cream.
Serve chilled for a refreshing summer dish.
