Cucumber salad with natural yoghurt
To conjure up this delicious cucumber salad you need:
- two cucumbers
- the juice of half a lemon
- finely chopped dill
- two cups plain yoghurt
- S alt and Pepper
- Sugar as required
➛ Step 1: Cut and drain cucumber
Cut the cucumbers into thin slices and place in a colander. Add a pinch of s alt, mix the mixture and let the contents stand for about 15 to 20 minutes. This removes the water from the cucumber.
➛ Step 2: Prepare the dressing
Now it's time for the dressing. Finely chop the dill and garlic. Put the plain yoghurt in a bowl and add the garlic and dill.
➛ Step 3: Add the cucumber to the dressing
Before you put the cucumbers in the yoghurt, you should squeeze out the slices properly. Then you can season the whole thing with s alt, fresh pepper and a little sugar.
» Extra tip: A dash of lemon juice gives the salad a real kick of freshness.
