Yogurt and cucumber is a refreshing dish often associated with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. It typically combines creamy yogurt with fresh, diced cucumbers, sometimes enhanced with garlic, herbs like dill or mint, and a pinch of salt. This nutrient-rich recipe is packed with probiotics from yogurt, which support gut health, and hydration from cucumber, which is high in water content. Yogurt provides protein, calcium, and essential vitamins, while cucumbers contribute fiber and antioxidants. Low in calories and fats (when made with low-fat yogurt), it’s a healthy side dish or snack. However, if heavily salted or paired with full-fat yogurt, sodium and calorie content can increase, so moderation is key. Enjoy it as a cooling accompaniment to grilled meats, curries, or as a standalone snack.
