Chilled Cucumber and Curd Salad with a Zesty Twist

1.Start by peeling the cucumbers and dicing them into small cubes. Place the diced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.

2.In a separate bowl, combine the plain curd (yogurt) with fresh lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

3.Add the diced cucumbers to the curd mixture and gently fold them in until the cucumbers are well coated with the dressing.

4.Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. If desired, drizzle with olive oil for added richness and flavor.

5.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.

6.Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
