Ingredients

2 lrg vine-ripened tomatoes chopped
1 cucumber peeled, seeded, and
chopped
1 small onion chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
3/4 cup plain yogurt
salt for draining vegetables

Preparation

1
Drain yogurt in cheesecloth bag (or fine strainer, or coffee filter will work for this small amount) for about 1/2 hour to remove some of the liquid.
2
While yogurt is draining, cut up vegetables, stir in some salt (try about a teaspoon), and put in a colander to drain. The salt will draw out the liquid in the vegetables which can then drain off through the colander.
3
Stir every once in a while to help with the draining.
4
When both vegetables and yogurt have shed some of their excess liquid, stir the yogurt into vegetables. Since some of the salt will have drained off with the liquid, taste and add salt if necessary.
