It is extremely difficult to please people. In the winter it is too cold and it's snowy; in the summer it is too hot. When it is rainy we want it to stop raining; when it doesn't rain we pray for rain. Maybe it is because the weather is more and more extreme. People still can't understand that they contribute to climate change. We have to work hard to avoid extreme temperatures, floods and various natural disasters.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a dish which could help us to survive the heat like no other. Except maybe ice-cream, but it isn't suitable for dinner. Every year I prepare a new kind of cold soup. I have prepared cold soup with chard, with cucumber, with radishes, with avocado and lettuce and Spanish gazpacho. This time I prepared a cold peppermint soup with low-salt cucumber. You can serve it with hard boiled egg or with new potatoes. I ate it simply with a fresh baguette.

Ingredients (for 2 people):
300g of natural yoghurt
200g of kefir
4 low-salt cucumbers
3 fresh cucumbers
2 cloves of garlic
2 fistfuls of fresh peppermint
salt and pepper

Wash the fresh cucumbers and grate both kinds of cucumbers with the skin on. Salt it slightly and leave for 10 minutes. Chop the peppermint. Mix the yoghurt with the kefir. Drain the cucumbers. Add the peppermint and cucumbers to the yoghurt. Spice them up with salt and pepper. Mix them in.

Enjoy your meal!
