Hi again. When it’s sunny and hot, we all love to eat food, which keeps our tummy cool.  In numerous countries like India, Greece, Turkey and Eastern Europe, Cucumber and Yogurt Salad is made in variations.  So today I decided to share a cooling salad  - Cucumber with yogurt.  Sounds cooling already.  Let’s begin!!

Cucumber with Yogurt:

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

Cucumber – 1 no

Onion – 1 no

Low fat Plain yogurt – 2/3 cup

Cream – ½ cup

Salt  - as per taste

Freshly ground black pepper – as per taste

Fresh mint leaves – for garnish

Method:

Firstly peel the cucumber and slice lengthwise into long ribbons using mandolin or a peeler.  Pile loosely in four salad bowls.  Keep in the freezer for up to 30 minutes, until just beginning to freeze.

Meanwhile, roughly chop the onion and put it into a blender along with yogurt and cream.  Blend until smooth. 

Season with salt and Black pepper.

Take the cucumber out of the freezer and pour the yogurt dressing on top.  Serve with freshly chopped mint leaves.

Remember to taste it before serving!!

Yummy and easy.  Please do let me know your valuable comments.

I have not posted any photo for this as I feel it can be decorated and presented in different style as you preferred.
