Yes! Just use a dairy-free unsweetened yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

How do I avoid cucumber watering down the salad?

You can sprinkle sliced cucumber with sea salt and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This will draw out the water and then you'll just wash it under cold water to remove the salt. I usually skip this step to make everything quicker.

Instructions

In a small bowl or jar, mix together the Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, grated garlic, finely chopped dill, parsley, and oregano, sea salt, and pepper.
Thinly slice the cucumber and add it to a mixing bowl with thinly sliced red onion.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and onion and toss gently to coat everything well.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator covered until ready to serve.

Notes

Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep in mind the cucumber will release water and might get slightly softer sitting in the dressing but it’s still good to eat.

Serving size: This salad is meant to be served as a side so it's enough for 2-4 people. If it's the only side you're serving, it might only be enough for two people.
