Cucumber & Basil Yogurt Bowl

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves divided
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, mix the cucumbers with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mash until the cucumbers release their juice.
  2. Drain the cucumbers in a colander, let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Once drained, put the cucumbers in a bowl and stir in the oil, garlic, lemon zest, pepper and half of the basil.
  4. Melt the butter, over medium heat, in a small skillet. While gently stirring, cook the butter for 2-4 minutes until it begins to brown. As soon as you see brown flecks appear in the bottom of the pan take the butter off the heat.
  5. Divide the yogurt between 4 bowls and top with equal portions of the cucumber salsa and walnuts.
  6. Drizzle the browned butter over the yogurt bowls, serve topped with the remaining basil.
