Cucumber Salad with Yogurt image

This is my kids' favorite cucumber salad. Sometimes I add even more yogurt. They literally are slurping up the dressing. If I make it for adults, I add fresh dill but my kids sadly don't like anything green in their salads.

EGYPTIAN GARLIC YOGURT CUCUMBER SALAD



Egyptian Garlic Yogurt Cucumber Salad image

This is a very refreshing little salad. I always make it along side many different dishes, goes great especially with anything barbequed. I also make it as a snack, eating half of it each time! Serves up great with slices of warm pita bread. A very garlicly salad, if you want you can decrease the garlic to your liking. Don't be turned off by the yogurt, even if you dont like yogurt, once the salad is made, there is no taste of yogurt at all. Smooth, creamy and refreshing. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm cucumbers that are not too seedy.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and depth to the salad. Some good options include dill, mint, parsley, cumin, and coriander.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the salad soggy.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This will help keep it refreshing and crisp.
