Quick cumcumber salad

[stavros]

Knowing Ali's love of cumcumbers, here's a quicky: I was having a plate of BBQ spare ribs tonight, and as I have folk for lunch tomorrow, didn't want anything too heavy on the side.
So, with what was to hand, a quick salad...
The cumcumber & yoghurt should be taken out of the fridge, and the whole thing put together just before putting the main dish on the table

1 cucumber
1 pot "Rian" goat-milk yoghurt
2 pinches of ground cumin (just two!)
Salt, freshly ground black pepper.

Peel the cucumber, finely slice into a bowl, add the other ingredients, mix with wooden salad servers, and straight to the table.

A light dinner - after all, with magret de canard aux griottes acidulées for lunch, had to show a little restraint. (And I'll tell you about the duck in my next post...)

A lovely lady upt road made this once when we were over for dinner, as part of a starter. It really is good! I'm not a lover of Goat stuff tho, would it be ok to make with Greek Yog or similar instead?

You'll be eating it - do it how you like it! Virtually anything I post is open to variation to suit folk's own tastes.

That said, it's a very good yoghurt, and doesn't have that "billy-goat" acrid taste you find with a lot of goat cheeses.

Salt cumcumber....excess water will drain off......later scrape off salt.

grate cumcumber into Greek or thick yoghurt

add lots of chopped mint and garlic...........ENJOY!!!!
