Description

Greek yogurt gets a savory makeover! Topped with a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, its a light and flavorful side.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) diced cucumbers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Oregano
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into small, even pieces, roughly 1/4-inch cubes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, olive oil, a pinch of oregano, cracked black pepper, and sea salt. Toss gently and let sit for 5 minutes so the tomatoes release some juice.
  3. Spoon the Greek yogurt into a shallow serving bowl and spread it out with the back of a spoon.
  4. Pile the seasoned tomato-cucumber mixture on top of the yogurt. Drizzle with any juices left in the mixing bowl. Finish with an extra pinch of oregano and a crack of pepper.

Notes

  • For a thicker yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth for 30 minutes before using.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or red onion for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the salad and yogurt separately until ready to serve to prevent the yogurt from becoming watery.
