- 1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

- Mix it all together: In a large bowl, combine cooled shrimp, cucumbers, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh dill.
- Make the dressing: Stir together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a touch more olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Toss it well: Ensure everything gets good coverage and shake your salad like you mean it!
