Cucumber Salad

Monday June 23, 2008
A cool and refreshing summer side-salad of cucumber tossed with fat-free strained Greek yogurt and fresh mint. This cucumber salad makes a perfect accompaniment to grilled lean meat, fish or poultry.

This sounds splendid. I will be making this. I get to stay home to cook and clean as my wife is a urologist with a full time job. She expects dinner to be ready when she walks in after a hard day. She has a big appetite but expects a meal with variety that won’t make her get fat. When she starts to gain weight I get in trouble. This little dish should help to keep me out of the dog house.

This may sound crazy but here goes. My dogs vet said top put my dogs on a diet. I have been giving them fruit and veggies and less of their dog food. They are losing weight. For fun I made them the cucumber salad and they loved it. They keep coming back and smashing their bowl demanding more. They are so excited and I can’t wait to make it for them again.

Thanks Fiona
