A cool and refreshing summer side salad of cucumber tossed with fat-free Greek yogurt and fresh mint. A perfect accompaniment to grilled lean meat, fish or poultry.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium to large English cucumber
  • 1/2 cup strained fat-free Greek yogurt (Oikos or Fage are good brands)
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped

Preparation:

Halve the cucumber lengthwise, then slice thinly—a food processor will do this nicely. In a large bowl, combine yogurt and mint. Add cucumber and toss until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

Serves 4-6
