Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound spaghetti
1 1/2 cucumbers
1 large garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1/4 cup fresh dill sprigs, chopped
3/4 pound vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart kettle bring 4 quarts salted water to a boil for spaghetti.
  • Peel and seed 1 cucumber and shred on large holes of grater. Squeeze shredded cucumber in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess liquid. Seed and dice remaining half cucumber. Chop garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a large bowl stir together shredded and diced cucumber, garlic paste, yogurt, buttermilk, all but 1 tablespoon dill, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Halve or quarter tomatoes and cut olives into thin slices. In a bowl stir together tomatoes, olives, and remaining tablespoon dill and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook spaghetti in boiling water until al dente and drain in a colander. Rinse spaghetti under cold water to stop cooking and drain well. Add spaghetti to yogurt mixture and toss to coat.
  • Serve spaghetti topped with tomato mixture.

I thought the tomatoes in this salad were a bit too acidic. I might try it again with a different type of tomato.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I might try it again with a different type of vinegar.

This salad was a bit bland for me. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
