Cucumber & Dill Yogurt Salad

Ingredients

4 large cucumbers
1 cup plain, homemade yogurt (or a good, thick, plain yogurt)
1/2 cup fresh dill, minced, stems discarded
1 tblsp fresh mint leaves, finely minced
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Fresh dill and mint sprigs

Procedure

With your potatoe peeler, run the peeler down the length of the cucumber peeling from end to end. Evenly space the peeling to create a thin green stripe effect. Take a fork and run from end to end piercing through the cucumber. This will create an interesting shape to the cucumber.

Trim off the ends of the cucumbers and slice them very thinly; put the sliced cucumbers in a mixing bowl. Add mint, salt, pepper, yogurt, and vinegar, and stir carefully until yogurt covers the cucumbers.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh dill and mint sprig.
