Ingredients
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers
- 1 1/4 cups full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 heaped tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
- 2 tbsp finely chopped dill or mint (optional)
Method
- Halve the cucumbers lengthways, scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon, then coarsely grate the flesh.
- Toss the grated cucumber with a pinch of the salt and place in a sieve for 15 minutes. Squeeze handfuls firmly over the sink, or press in a clean tea towel, to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, remaining salt and pepper in a bowl and stir until smooth.
- Fold the drained cucumber and the dill or mint, if using, through the yogurt.
- Rest for at least 20 minutes in the fridge so the garlic mellows and the flavours meld. Stir, taste for salt and lemon, and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
