CUCUMBER SALAD WITH YOGURT
This is my kids' favorite cucumber salad. Sometimes I add even more yogurt. They literally are slurping up the dressing. If I make it for adults, I add fresh dill but my kids sadly don't like anything green in their salads.

SPICY CUCUMBERS WITH YOGURT, LEMON AND HERBS
This recipe brings together two contrasting components to create a bright summer dish. A simple yogurt sauce is dressed up with herbs and zest, then topped with cucumbers that have marinated in a spicy oil. Coriander, cumin and red-pepper flakes bloom in a neutral oil, and the cucumbers take on the flavors as they sit. For the yogurt, a variety of garden fresh herbs work well, but dill and mint are crucial. Both the yogurt and the cucumbers can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated until serving. When you're ready, spread the yogurt sauce in a wide bowl or plate. Spoon the cucumbers on top evenly so each each bite gets a little yogurt and a little cucumber: One will temper the spiciness of the other. Save a handful of the herbs for a fresh garnish.

Steps:
- Toss the cucumber pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and set in a colander in the sink to drain.
- In a small pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the coriander and cumin, and toast until fragrant, stirring to avoid scorching, about 1 minute. Remove oil from heat, add red-pepper flakes and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, toss the salted cucumber pieces with the scallions, spiced oil and apple cider vinegar. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or overnight while you prepare the yogurt.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, half of the herbs (mint, dill and parsley), zest and juice of the lemon and the olive oil. Stir to incorporate, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread the yogurt mixture on a plate or the bottom of a shallow bowl. Using a slotted spoon to drain the cucumbers and scallions of excess liquid, evenly place the cucumbers and scallions on top of the yogurt. Finish with the remaining chopped herbs and pine nuts (if using), and serve immediately.
CUCUMBER AND CELERY SALAD WITH YOGURT
Steps:
- In a cheesecloth-lined sieve or colander set over a bowl drain yogurt, covered and chilled, 20 minutes. Discard liquid.
- Diagonally cut celery into thin slices. Seed cucumber and diagonally cut into thin slices. In bowl toss together celery, cucumber, yogurt, parsley or cilantro, lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers and celery: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, crisp cucumbers and celery. Look for cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have blemishes. For the celery, choose stalks that are bright green and have a firm snap.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the cucumbers and celery into pieces of the same size. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Cucumbers and celery should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Use a good quality yogurt: The yogurt is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a yogurt that is plain, unsweetened, and has a creamy texture.
- Season the salad to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings you add to the salad will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the salad as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
Conclusion:
This cucumber and celery salad with yogurt is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish, give this cucumber and celery salad with yogurt a try!
