Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

Instructions

2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

3. Toss the Salad: Place the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl, pour the dressing over them, and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.

4. Chill and Serve: Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld, then transfer to a serving plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve cold.
