Creamy Cucumber and Mint Salad

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

This easy fresh cucumber and mint salad is vegan if you use soy yogurt. Fresh cilantro and mint tossed with cucumbers and tomatoes make for a cooling treat on a hot summer day or as an accompaniment to a spicy Indian meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cucumbers, diced
  • 6 - 8 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 green chili, deseeded and minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 5 scallions, diced
  • 1 cup soy or regular yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation:

Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, chili, cilantro and scallions in a bowl. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mint and lemon juice.

Pour the yogurt over the cucumbers and stir to combine. Chill before serving.
