Background
This cucumber salad with yogurt and mint is spiced up with cumin seeds. It goes perfectly with middle-eastern style grilled fish & meat, or as a filler salad in kebabs & flatbreads. It can also be served with Indian dishes as it helps to cool down hot, spicy food. It takes just 5 minutes to throw together!
Ingredients
- ½ cucumber
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- A small handful of mint leaves
- 4 Tbsp Greek yoghurt
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds out then, using a vegetable peeler, shave thin ribbons of the flesh & skin.
- Finely chop the mint and mix with the cumin seeds and yoghurt.
- Gently fold in the cucumber ribbons. Season to taste. Toss & serve.
Tips
You can make it more intense by grinding the cumin seeds coarsely.© 2026 Copyright CookTogether
