Just A Typical Weekend
....in which I lay around the house, read, and cooked. A lot. One of my snacks yesterday was a cucumber yogurt salad, eaten while my first attempt at french onion soup was bubbling away on the stove.
Cucumber Yogurt Salad
(serves 1)
1 sm-med cucumber
1 tiny or 1/2 small red onion
1/2 lime
1/2c yogurt
dried mint
dried dill
salt
(This is not a quickly tossed together salad - there is some wait time involved).
Take off half of the cucumber peel in long strokes with veggie peeler (I like a little of the dark green skin, but not all of it). Then slice the cuke into rounds and spread them on a paper towel to dry out a bit. Put the yogurt into a cheesecloth (set inside a strainer is ideal) and let it drain for a half hour or more. Slice the onion thinly and toss it with the lime juice to marinate while everything else is going on.
When everything is ready, peel your thickened yogurt off the cheesecloth and stir in the dried herbs and the onion-lime mix. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Toss with the cuke slices, and eat.
