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.
