This salad is always in my refridgerator. It's wonderful, light and great as a side to any bbq meal in the summer months.

Cucumber and yogurt salad

Ingredients:
1 or 2 seedless (english) cucumbers
1 small clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon mint, fresh or dried, fresh preferred chopped fine
1 large container plain yogurt. If you can get Colombo brand, all the better. Don't use that non fat junk!

Peel cukes and slice into half 'moon' shapes
Place them in a strainer and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons salt to make the water drain out, about an hour or so.
Rinse off the salt and pat dry.

Crush the garlic, chop the mint and place in a bowl with about 1/2 the yougurt. Stir well to get all the flavors in!
Toss in the cukes and mix with the yogurt. Add enough yogurt to cover & mix well.
Cover the bowl.
Place in the 'fridge and let cool for a couple of hours.
Serve with any dish.
