How to Cook Cucumber Surprise
- Peel the cucumber and slice into medium-thickness slices about one-eighth-inch (3mm) thick. Lay the slices flat on a large plate in layers, salting each layer well. Leave for about ½ hour in the fridge to allow some of the water to drain out. Meanwhile place the yoghurt into a mixing bowl and liberally add freshly-ground pepper. Stir well.
- Remove the cucumber from the fridge and drain off the water. Place the slices in a clean tea-towel or thin cloth and squeeze gently to remove more of the moisture. Open the cloth, separate the cucumber slices and add them to the yoghurt. Stir well and serve.

For a healthy light meal (or snack) a serving of Cucumber Surprise with a couple of slices of crusty whole wheat bread is a meal fit for a king!
Reviews of Cucumber Surprise
![]() I couldn't believe how simple but effective this was. It took just minutes to make (plus a bit of standing time in the fridge) and, along with a crusty baguette, made a great light lunch for a friend and me. I'll be happy to use it as a starter for a main meal any time. The recipe is right when it says to use plenty of freshly ground pepper. What you would normally expect to be far too much is "absorbed" by the coolness of the yoghurt. This one is a definite keeper. parma (3 reviews) |
