Main Ingredients- 1 fresh cucumber

Salad Dressing- 50g plain yogurt (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp honey (optional, for adjusting sweetness)
- 50g plain yogurt (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp honey (optional, for adjusting sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then peel it thinly using a peeler. Slice it into rounds about 1.5 cm thick. Gently scoop out the seeds from the center of each cucumber slice with a spoon to create a hollow, forming a small cup for the filling. Be careful not to scoop too deep.
Step 2
Wash the strawberries, remove their stems, and finely dice them into small cubes, about 0.5 cm, so they fit nicely into the cucumber hollows. Using homemade plain yogurt will provide a fresher and healthier taste. Store-bought plain yogurt is also a perfectly fine alternative.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, diced strawberries, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. While the strawberries provide natural sweetness, you can add about 1/2 teaspoon of honey for an extra touch of sweetness, especially if children will be enjoying it. The honey acts as a little lure to make the salad even more appealing to them.
Step 4
Carefully spoon the prepared strawberry yogurt dressing into the hollowed-out centers of the cucumber slices. Fill them generously so that you get pieces of strawberry in every bite.
Step 5
Your cucumber strawberry yogurt salad is now complete! These are perfectly sized for finger foods, making them easy and fun to eat. The delightful combination of the crisp cucumber and the sweet and tangy strawberry yogurt is sure to awaken your appetite.
