Ingredients
4 hothouse cucumbers, peeled and cut in medium dice
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 honeydew melon, peeled and cut into medium dice
1 serrano chile, chopped fine
1 rib celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
Leaves from 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves, chopped
Leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
- Combine the cucumbers, green onions, melon, chile, celery, vinegar, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt in a large bowl (the cucumbers will give off a lot of juice). Put the bowl in a large pot of ice water to chill for 30 minutes. In another bowl, combine the yogurt, a 2-count of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, the parsley, and refrigerate. To serve, spoon the soup into bowls.
