Cucumbers Dijon

This super-quick salad has a nice "kick" and makes a great addition to any tossed salad. It's also delicious packed into pita bread with sliced turkey and tomato.



Makes 4 servings


¼    cup plain nonfat yogurt
1     tablespoon plus 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
2     cups cucumber, peeled, sliced very thin
2     teaspoons dried chives

Gather your ingredients.


In a medium bowl, combine yogurt and mustard.


Stir in cucumber and chives.


Chill several hours.



This salad tastes best when served the same day.

  4. I've never thought you could do much with cucumbers besides put them in a salad, or dip them. I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
