Creamy Cucumber Salad

Our yummy yogurt dressing takes this cucumber salad to a level all its own! We add garlic blossoms, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt and pepper then allow the flavors to develop for 20 minutes. You can deseed the cucumber if you choose, but we love seeds and all! This  salad is perfect along side any meal or the yogurt and cucumber are the  perfect pairing because they are both so cooling in our sweltering  Alabama humidity. 


PS. If you’re not a fan of dill weed you can sub with chives or parsley.
