Cucumber Salad with Yogurt is a refreshing dish commonly found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. This light and flavorful salad features crisp cucumbers mixed with creamy yogurt, often seasoned with garlic, olive oil, fresh herbs like dill or mint, and a hint of lemon juice for brightness. Sometimes spices such as cumin or black pepper are added for extra depth. Its origins trace back to regions where yogurt-based dishes are a staple, emphasizing cooling ingredients for warm climates. Packed with hydration from cucumbers and probiotics from yogurt, the salad promotes healthy digestion and supports gut health. It is naturally low in calories and provides vitamins like vitamin K and antioxidants. However, the healthiness of the dish can vary depending on the amount of added oil, salt, or full-fat versus low-fat yogurt used. This simple yet nutritious dish is an excellent choice for a wholesome snack or side.
