A refreshing accompaniment to a main course of meat or fish, this cucumber-yogurt salad also makes a tasty filling for pita bread. If the cucumbers are grated instead of chopped, this mixture can be served as a dip.

Cucumber-Yogurt Salad

cucumbers,

salt

yogurt

lemon juice

garlic,

pepper,

chopped fresh parsley, or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

olive oil

Cut cucumbers in half and seed. Cut each cucumber boat in half lengthwise and then halve each quarter. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Place in bowl, sprinkle salt on top, toss and set aside for at least 20 minutes.


Combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, and parsley (or mint) in a medium bowl. Stir in the oil briskly.


Drain the cucumbers, return them to the bowl, pour the yogurt mixture over and toss well.


My husband and I really liked the flavours in this recipe and I love how easy it is to make. The sauce can be used on meats and as a regular salad dressing. It is a keeper for our house and on the menu for supper again tonight.
