Materials:
- 1/2. c. thinly slices red onion
- 4 med. cucumbers (6-7" long)
- 1 tsp. salt
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1-1/2 c. yoghurt (plain whole milk works great)
- 2 cloves garlic, minces
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 Tbsp. fresh minced mint leaves
- 1/4 c. (packed) finely minced parsley
- 3 scallions, finely minced (greens included)
- 2 Tbsp. freshly minced dill
- 1 c. chopped walnuts, lightly toasted (opt)
Methods:
- Soak the onion in cold water for about 30 minutes while you get everything else ready. Drain thoroughly and pat dry before adding to the salad.
- Peel (unless they are homegrown or unwaxed, in which case, don't) the cucumbers, halve and seed, and cut into thin half-rounds. Place in a medium sized bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients except walnuts, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
- Sprinkle the walnuts on top just before serving. (I forgot these, and it was still tasty)
