1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), diced

1/2 cup fresh corn kernels (cooked or canned)

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1/4 cup crispy fried onions (for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, diced bell peppers, and corn kernels. Toss gently to mix.

Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, ranch dressing, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

Combine: Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables. Gently toss until all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

Chill: Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the crunchiness of the cucumbers.

Serve: Before serving, give the salad a quick toss. Top with crispy fried onions for an extra crunch. Enjoy chilled!
