Kosher Dill Cucumber Delight

I have fresh dill in my victory garden, so I decided to make this salad. I’ve only ever eaten it as a kosher breakfast item in Israel in 1979. I’ve never made it, but often remember those wonderful breakfasts at the Hotel Continental in Jerusalem. An era long past.

I didn't look for the recipe till after I had made this, so being a purist I only used fresh dill, greek yoghurt and sliced English cucumber. I admit lemon, vinegar and salt would add to the flavour, but I don't remember onions in the Jerusalem delight. It was quite bland, but perfect as a morning wake up to prepare for a hot day.
