  2. Thinly slice 1/2 cup cucumber and 1/2 cup red onion.
  3. Shred 1/2 cup carrots.
  4. In a blender, combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  5. Add 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or your preferred cheese) to the salad.
  6. Pour the yogurt dressing over the vegetables in a large bowl.
