Cucumber Salad


I have always loved the cucumber salad at Indian restaurants. Just like that variety, this recipe was made with yogurt. I must say that although it was refreshing and clean, it lacked something. The onions are soaked beforehand so perhaps eliminating that step would improve the flavor. My partner in crime, who we will call Coraline for anonymity sake, did favor the cucumber salad, as did the crowd at my God-Son's birthday, where I took the remainder of the dish. Coraline was a HUGE help in adjusting the seasonings and encouraged me to add "just a little at a time and then taste". Wow. What a new and fabulous concept. I will apply this to all future endeavors. My final thoughts on this dish is that it is a fabulous summer time salad but definitely taste as you go and get creative with the seasonings.
