Ingredients
- For the salad
- 2 cucumbers, sliced into half moons
- 2 tomatoes, deseeded and diced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 150 g cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- A handful of fresh coriander, chopped
- For the yogurt sauce
- 150 g thick plain yogurt, about 3/4 cup
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp finely chopped mint
- 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Method
Make the sauce
- Whisk the yogurt until smooth. Mix in the garlic, lemon juice, mint, cumin, pepper and salt.
- Chill the sauce for 10 minutes so the flavours settle.
Assemble
- Combine the cucumber, tomato, carrot, cabbage, onion and coriander in a large bowl.
- Spoon the sauce over the vegetables just before serving and toss gently.
- Taste and add a little more salt or lemon if needed.
Good to know: Salt the sauce, not the vegetables, until the last minute so the salad stays crisp and does not turn watery.
