A refreshing summer salad with succulent shrimp, crisp cucumber, and a velvety dressing enhanced with fresh dill.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 large cucumber, diced
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked shrimp, diced cucumber, and chopped dill to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce or with whole grain crackers.
