Cucumber Yogurt Salad

April 19, 2019 by mgrc Leave a Comment

This particular cucumber salad originated in Europe but is almost as popular in our country. A delight for a weight-watcher since cucumbers are very low in calories.

It’s OK to substitute sour cream for the yogurt, 1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar for the lemon juice, or freshly ground pepper for the lemon pepper.

Makes 4 servings.

This is from My Great Recipes, Salads and Their Dressings, Section 2, Card 23
