Yogurt with lettuce and cucumber is a simple, cool salad made by stirring chopped lettuce and cucumber into yogurt. It is more of a flexible home-style preparation than a dish with one fixed recipe: use thick yogurt for a spoonable side, or loosen it slightly for a lighter, more pourable accompaniment.
In warm-weather meals, it works alongside grilled foods, grain dishes or other salads, and can be served as a refreshing side at lunch or dinner. The yogurt brings a creamy tang, while cucumber adds juiciness and lettuce a gentle crunch. It offers protein and calcium without being especially energy-dense. For a lighter texture, thin the yogurt with a little cold water and mix the salad just before serving so the vegetables stay crisp.
