I made this cucumber yogurt salad along with the Lebanese Chickpea soup.. This was just like the Indian cucumber raita with a minty twist.
Yogurt – 2 cups
Cucumber-1,finely chopped
Dried mint powder– a large pinch
Fresh mint leaves- a few
Salt to taste
Garlic 2 pods
- Whisk the yogurt with a little salt.
- In a mortar and pestle make a paste of the garlic pods using a pinch of salt.
- Add this to the yogurt along with cucumber.
- Garnish with dried mint leaves, fresh mint leaves and serve chilled.

Really like the mint with cucumber, so refreshing. Love the pictures
Nice salad. Cucumber salad is on my favorites. Will try this too.

Loved the addition of mint leaves, salad looks prefect with summer days.
