Ingredients
- 150g Greek yoghurt
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2 - 4 crushed garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)
- 1 tsp chopped or dried mint (or dill)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel cucumber, cut in half lengthways and de-seed using a teaspoon, then coarsely grate.
- Put grated cucumber into a sieve suspended over a bowl, sprinkle over 1/2 tsp of salt and mix through. Place a plate on top of cucumber and allow cucumber to drain for approximately 1 hour, or until water stops dripping (whichever is first).
- Combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- The flavours combine better if given time so I prefer to leave it in a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight.
- If Greek yoghurt is not available then you can make your own Greek style from plain yoghurt by suspending a sieve lined with cheesecloth over a bowl, adding the yoghurt and allowing it to drain for 2-3 hours, or longer if thicker yoghurt is preferred, in a refrigerator. A paper coffee filter can be used as an alternative to a cheesecloth, following the above method.
