Summer Delight - Quick Salad with creamy yogurt, mint dressing

Summer ...here I come ! First vegetable that comes to our mind and available in market during Indian Summer is Cucumber. It's also consumed during other seasons, but we see vendors selling all over the country during this time.

If you are tried of having the regular plain cucumber for salad we have a yummy, yet easy to prepare salad, filled with the richness of yogurt and the sweetness of mint.



Here is what you need:

  • Diced cucumber as shown in picture. 
  • Whisked yogurt - ensure you add little water whisk and bring to a creamy pour-able consistency
  • Chopped mint leaves
  • Crushed cumin - 1/2 t.spn
  • Crushed pepper - 1/2 t.spn
  • Chat masala - 1/2 t.spn (optional)
  • Lemon juice - 1 t.spn
  • Sugar - 1 - 2 tb.spn
  • A pinch of Salt

In a bowl add all ingredients except cucumber, whisk well and taste for seasoning. Add anything if required. Finally add the dressing to cucumber and toss well. Refrigerate and serve. It's very refreshing and filling.

You may add little olive oil or add in olives or other seasoning as per your taste.

Let me know how you liked this, and suggest other alternate for this.
