Refreshingly cool
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large English cucumbers
- 1⁄2 red onion
- 1 1⁄2 tbsp salt
- 1 1⁄2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers 1⁄4-inch thick, and julienne the red onion 1⁄8 inch thick. Mix in an appropriate-sized mixing bowl and add salt. Put cucumber, red onion, and salt mixture into a colander over a mixing bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. This draws the moisture out, and seasons the cucumbers and onion.
- The following day, rinse the cucumber and red onion well under running water in the colander. Let drain. Roll out a kitchen towel, and put the cucumber and red onion in the kitchen towel (cheesecloth also works well). Wring out excess moisture in the cucumber and onion and place in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, coriander, and black pepper until well combined. Mix yogurt mixture into the wrung-out cucumber and onions. Fold together and enjoy.
