Cucumber Yogurt Salad

This has always been a favourite salad of mine. My parents made it for us often when we were growing up. It's an all around good for you salad which tastes great and can also cool you down when enjoyed with a spicy meal. Some enjoy this salad yogurt heavy, almost like a dip, and others like myself tend to use the cucumber a bit more. I love the crunchy bite!

Cucumber Yogurt Salad

Sometimes I use low fat sour cream instead of yogurt, at times I switch up the types of cucumbers. It really depends what I have the in refrigerator. With the warmer weather around the corner, this is going be popular at dinner.

Ingredients

2 large cucumbers 

1-1/2 cup yogurt 2%

2 cloves garlic - minced

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh mint - chopped

1/2 tbsp dried mint
1/2 tsp white sugar (my preference)

1/2 tsp salt

A bit of fresh cracked black pepper

Method

Chop the cucumbers in small pieces, or slice thin using a mandolin as I enjoy doing, and place in large bowl. Add all other ingredients to cucumbers and mix well then transfer to serving dish. Serve cold and garnish with more mint.

Enjoy!
