Want to make yourself a creamy cucumber salad?
But you're afraid it's too heavy for your line?
It's true that crème fraîche and olive oil aren't the lightest in terms of calories...
Fortunately, here is a tip to easily lighten this great classic.
The trick is to replace the fresh cream with cottage cheese and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Don't worry, this light recipe is just as delicious and indulgent than the classic recipe. Watch:
1. Peel a cucumber.
2. Cut it into slices or dice.
3. Add a tablespoon of beaten cottage cheese.
4. Drizzle lemon juice on top.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
And There you go ! Now you know how to lighten a cucumber salad with cream :-)
This recipe is still delicious but without using fresh cream or olive oil.
Know that you can also decorate the salad with fine herbs. Do not forget to put it in the fridge so that it is very refreshing.
Cucumber is a really interesting fruit. It is rich in vitamins and is known to help eliminate toxins.
This Greek salad is based on the same ingredients and is eaten very fresh.
Cut the cucumbers into thin slices. Salt, pepper and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Chop a few mint leaves.
You can also add garlic. Pour a Greek yogurt and mix everything. Leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Eat as is or spread on pita bread. It's excellent with a grill for example;-)
