Cucumber Yogurt Salad

Preparation of Cucumber Yogurt Salad : 

We eat a lot of hot and spicy dishes, a great way to cool the palate is with the delicious combination of yogurt and cucumber. This easy-to-make cucumber salad, also called “tzatziki”, is a refreshing accompaniment to spicy dishes. Here I used Courgelet(Keera Dosakaya) for this salad.

Lets see the preparation of this recipe

Ingredients

Cucumber - 1

Tomato - 1 (small)

Salt as required

Mint - 1/2 tsp

Yogurt - 1/2 cup

Lemon Juice - 1 tsp

Fresh Grounded Pepper - to taste

Olive oil - 1 tsp (optional)

Procedure

First taste the cucumbers to make sure that they are not bitter. Depending on the variety of cucumber you are using, and many other factors, you may find a cucumber that is distinctly bitter in taste. If this happens, soak the cucumber slices in salted water for half an hour, or longer, until the bitterness is reduced.

Cut Cucumber into triangle shape small pieces so that you can eat them easily.

Combine yogurt, lemon juice, pepper, and  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.

Finely garnish with sliced tomato pieces.
