This cucumber salad is simple, summery, and refreshingly delicious. It couldn't be much easier, and it's super-healthy. Cucumbers provide us with valuable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer benefits, and yogurt is high in protein and calcium.
And don't forget: It tastes really good!
2 cucumbers, peeled and seeded
Plain yogurt, about 4 to 6 oz
1 teaspoon dried dill
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garlic salt, to taste
Peel cucumbers. Slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds with a spoon. Slice each half into 4 strips, and chop into 1/2" dice. Place cucumber in medium bowl, and add remaining ingredients. Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
NOTE: You can also make this into a dip by combining the ingredients (add 2 tbls olive oil & 1 tbls vinegar, if you like) in a food processor or blender and serving as a dip for grilled meats, veggies, or pita bread.
