Chilled Cucumber and Yogurt Soup
Cucumber soups can be very refreshing and are often combined with dill. This is a recipe which combines both dill and mint and is yummy on a hot day.
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic put through a garlic press
- 2 teaspoons vinegar (your choice of type but not darkly colored balsamic - pear-infused white balsamic or rice vinegar are my top choices)
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon crumbled dried mint or 1 1/2 Tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1 16 ounce container non-fat Greek yogurt or vegan yogurt
- 6 Tablespoons cold water
Pare cucumbers and slice lengthwise into 6 shafts, remove the seeds if you wish. Slice the shafts crosswise into small 1/8th inch thick slices
Add remaining ingredients.
Chill 3 hours before serving. Mix well before serving and garnish with additional chopped mint.
