This is similar to a cucumber salad we have at the cafe: to adjust, cut larger chunks of cucumber and cut the yogurt down so it simply coats the cucumbers instead of making a dip.
Also, a money saving tip: buy regular cucumbers on sale, peel, slice lengthwise, and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Viola! Seedless cucumbers!
