Easy Food Pr0n: Cucumber and Fresh Garlic Salad

Easy dish takes advantage of spring overlap of fresh garlic and the first salad cucumbers. To make about 3 salad sides, slice a medium (approx. 7") cucumber very thin. In a non-reactive container, mix 1/4 cup Greek style plain unsweetened yogurt (I use Greek Gods brand), 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic sliced very thin, 1teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, finely chopped or dried herbs to your taste (I used tarragon, dill, and a tiny bit of mint), and salt to taste. Mix well and stir in the cucumber slices. Let stand at least 2 hours and as many as 24 in the refrigerator. Stir gently before serving. After plating, cover with a generous coating of fresh ground black pepper. You could add some diced red or yellow bell pepper for visual interest. Velvety smooth and fresh, this is a great late spring salad.
