Cucumber Yogurt Salad Recipe

No-cook salad, made with grated cucumber and garlic, yogurt, olive oil and salt.
Time is the number one thing in current living. It’s time that decides if it’s cooking at home and the types of dishes cooked. Quick meals are generally the go-to, something related to easy recipes and simple cooking. Depending on what the meal is, a vegetable dish (QUICK CHINESE VEGETABLE STIR-FRY) is a must for the fiber, wellness, and healthy living. Furthermore, apart from the quick stir-fry vegetables, there are also salads. What can be a better salad recipe than the raw and no-cook salad?

Enter cucumber yogurt salad. Refreshing, healthy, minimalist, and made with common ingredients. Grated, sliced, or chopped cucumber with garlic, then tossed with yogurt, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Olive oil can be replaced with coconut oil, and Greek yogurt - higher in protein, lower in sugar, and thicker than regular yogurt, makes it even more filling and nutritious. Though it’s somewhat 20 to 40 percent higher in price compared to regular yogurt.

 

There’s also the flexibility: skip the yogurt entirely and you’ll have a simple cucumber salad with the same fresh crunch and flavor from the other ingredients (RICE-COOKER SAFFRON RICE).

 

Greek yogurt in bigger tubs is not a waste. Use it as a topping for fruits, stir into curries, or as a sauce over raw salads if you’re a salad lover.
