- 1 cup diced English cucumbers
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup chopped Kalamata olives
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

- Place cucumbers in a colander; set onto a plate. Toss cucumbers with 1 teaspoon salt. Let rest to draw about liquid, about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Place red onion and 1 cup cold water in a bowl. Let soak until the strong onion flavor is weakened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.
