The cucumber salad with yogurt is a recipe for a fresh and tasty side dish. Personally, I also really like the simple cucumber salad, but the one I propose today is a cucumber salad enriched with yogurt and green olives, two ingredients that turn a simple salad into a side dish with a particular and very pleasant taste.
