2 small pickling cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill

"I rated this recipe, but I had to adjust the ingredients according to what I had available. I also did not measure anything; I just went by how much I thought I wanted of each indredient and 'dumped ..." See moreit'. I had no mint, I did add red onions and pepper.
