Ingredients
2 pints thick yogurt (recommended: Greek yogurt)
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
Put the yogurt, cilantro, cumin, lemon juice, and salt
and pepper, to taste, into a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth and
