Cucumber & Sultana Salad
Introduction
Chilled cucumber and yoghurt, with a hint of sweetness, makes a refreshing accompaniment to spicy dishes, or barbecued lamb and chicken.
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
1 telegraph cucumber (tender-skinned cucumber)
1¾ cups plain Greek yoghurt
½ cup plump sultanas
1 Tbsp chopped mint
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
1¾ cups plain Greek yoghurt
½ cup plump sultanas
1 Tbsp chopped mint
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
Method
1 If the cucumber skin is coarse, peel it. Slice cucumber thinly and pat dry with paper towels.
2 In a large bowl mix the rest of the ingredients. Add cucumber. Cover and chill well before serving.
Recipe notes
If you don’t have thick Greek yoghurt, drain yoghurt in a sieve lined with paper towels for 30-45 minutes.
