For this dish it is better that they are as tender as possible to be able to peel them more easily. Once they are peeled, we remove the central seeds, which will be more or less abundant depending on their maturation process. If it is tender, we can include them in the salad. We will cut the cucumber into slices to make half moons, aesthetically it is a more beautiful plate and we get all the pieces to have the same size. We will place the slices in a bowl. In a container we put the natural Greek yogurt, if you wish it can be skimmed to add fewer calories to the dish, but it is important that it be as creamy as possible. To this yogurt we will add the lemon juice, mix the ingredients very well.We continue with the spices, fresh basil is a very good option, although it will also look great with a little mint or spearmint. We will chop the herbs well. They can be dry, but in this case the amounts would be higher to achieve the same effect. Add the dill and salt, mix well until you get a sauce. Add directly to the cucumber and let it soak in this mixture well. Ideally, let it rest in the fridge for an hour before serving, in this way it will preserve all the flavors to perfection.
