- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash the English cucumber thoroughly under cold water. Slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a small spoon.

Step 5
In a separate small bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Step 6
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber mixture. Gently toss everything together until the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Step 8
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
