Ingredients
Preparation
-
Wash and peel the cucumbers if they are not organic, then slice them thinly or dice them as you prefer. Place them in a colander, sprinkle them lightly with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes. This will allow excess water to drain.
-
In a bowl, whisk the skyr until smooth. Add the toasted cumin seeds, mint leaves, coriander, and salt. Mix well.
-
Gently pat the cucumbers dry with paper towels. Add them to the skyr mixture and stir gently until the cucumbers are well coated in the spiced yogurt.
-
Pour the lime juice over the salad and toss one last time. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes for an even more refreshing salad. Garnish with a few extra mint leaves.
-
This salad is a perfect accompaniment to curries.
Note
For even more benefits for your figure, do not peel the cucumber completely (if organic) in order to retain maximum fiber!
