This light summer appetizer has a delicious crunch and is surprisingly satiating thanks to the addition of yogurt.

This salad makes a great side next to grilled poultry or steak.

I simply love cucumber and watermelon! Could I add a little more cucumber than watermelon? Would it kill the balanced taste of the dessert?
