Cold Yogurt and Cucumber Drink with Crispy Croûtons

Hi everyone!!! I hope you are having an amazing week! Today I decided to post a cool drink recipe for you because it's already quite hot outside and all want is to chill outside with a glass of cold drink to refresh you! This delicious cold yogurt and cucumber drink is one of my favorite drinks for hot summer days and I like to accompany it with crispy croûtons. It can make a wonderful snack (or even lunch) in the middle of the day to refresh and make you function for the rest of the day.


 To make this delicious cold yogurt and cucumber drink (2-3 portions) with crusty croûtons you will need the following ingredients:

  • cold yogurt (2 cups)
  • cucumber (2 of an average size, you can add more or less of your liking depending how thick you prefer your drink)
  • cold water (1 cup)
  • lettuce (a small bunch or 5-6 leaves)
  • fresh herbs (dill, coriander, parsley, mint, tarragon, a few springs from each; use whichever herb you like or have)
  • salt (to your taste)
  • ice cubes(as many as you like to keep your drink cool as long as you drink it)



The instructions of making the drink:

  • Take a jar or any suitable container of your liking, pour the cold yogurt into it, sprinkle it with salt and whisk it.
  • Cut the cucumber into small cubes and add to the yogurt.
  • Chop the lettuce and the fresh herbs into small pieces and add to the jar with yogurt and cucumber. Mix thoroughly all the ingredients with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the cold water to make it a little bit thinner and taste it to make sure you have salted it enough, if not add a little bit more. Before serving this amazing yogurt and cucumber drink add the ice cubes. You can add the ice cubes immediately into the glass before you pour the drink into it.

To make the crispy croûtons you'll need:
  • Bread
  • salt and pepper
  • any vegetable oil of your liking
  • salt and pepper (paprika and black pepper, chili pepper if you like to make spicy)
The instructions:
  • Cut the bread into thin slices, season them with salt, black pepper, paprika and chili.
  • Sprinkled them with vegetable oil and roast them in a frying pan.

I hope you enjoyed today's recipe. If you make it one day share the picture with me down in the comment section. I'm looking forward to your feedback! I hope you had a nice day! Bye!
