4 servings
- 2 medium english cucumbers (about 1 ½ lb total), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¾ cup dairy free yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
Chef's tipUse the same amount of unseasoned rice vinegar. It is slightly milder, so taste and add a little more if needed. - 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
- 3 green onions (green tops only), thinly sliced
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Instructions
- 1
Place the cucumber slices in a colander set over the sink or a bowl. Toss with the kosher salt and let stand for 15–20 minutes, until the cucumbers have released noticeable liquid and feel slightly limp.
- 2
Pat the cucumbers dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, pressing firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.
