Ingredients

• 400g Greek style yogurt
• 1 British cucumber
• 1-2 cloves garlic
• 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Grate the cucumber and place it in a fine-mesh sieve or colander. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess water. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cucumber using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
2. Mince the garlic cloves very finely or crush them.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the strained cucumber, Greek style yogurt, minced garlic, and extra virgin olive oil.
4. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon into the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled.
