Marinated Cucumber Salad
This recipe is adapted from, and is very similar to, the Tangy Cucumber recipe in the New American Heart Association Cookbook (speaking of which, this is one of my favorite low-fat, low-salt, overall healthy cookbooks, every recipe I've tried from it has been delicious). This has a great combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors, and it light and refreshing. Now, while cucumbers are on sale 3/ $1, it's the perfect time to enjoy this dish. The cucumbers are great on their own, or topped with the yogurt dressing.
