Summer lite - try this cool cucumber salad to refresh you summer

One more month of summer... I hope you have enjoyed these mild and sunny days.  Here is a quote to keep you moving and a recipe for a chilled cucumber salad.  Enjoy!


"Exercise is the most potent yet underutilized antidepressant"    - Bill Phillips


Chilled cucumber yogurt appetizer

 

Ingredients: (4 servings)

- 2 large cucumbers

- 1 serving of greek yogurt (or your favorite variety)

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- a pinch of pepper

- optional:  2 cloves of garlic and/or a few mint leaves - finely chopped 

 

Preparation:

Peel the cucumbers and julienne them in a medium sized bowl.  Add the salt to bring out the water of the cucumbers.  After a few minutes press and drain the excess liquid.  Add the yogurt, the pepper (and the optional ingredients, if you wish to)... mix well.                                                                                                                                

Place in the refrigerator for a half hour or more and serve chilled.  This is a very refreshing dish, ideal for summer.

 

Cheers to your health!
