- Step 1
Trim ends off cucumbers and peel. Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds with a teaspoon. Cut cucumbers lengthwise into Ā¾-inch strips. Then cut strips into Ā¾-inch cubes. (You should have 7 to 8 cups.)
- Step 2
Combine yogurt, salt, oil, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and dill weed in a bowl. Add cucumber cubes and mix well. Refrigerate. (The recipe can be prepared to this point 5 to 6 hours ahead.)
- Step 3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 4
Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, spread on a cookie sheet, and bake for 14 to 15 minutes, until nicely browned and crusty on all sides. Set aside.
- Step 5
At serving time, add the parsley or mint and the toasted bread cubes to the cucumbers. Toss briefly; most of the liquid will be absorbed by the bread. Serve within the next 30 minutes, mounding the salad on lettuce leaves if desired.

I added two pressed cloves of garlic and some sliced radish, this salad needs a little time to marinate and it is perfect!
