Ingredients
- 2 cups plain full fat yogurt (high-quality, without gums and thickeners)
- 2 teaspoons pureed very fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and grated on large holes of grater
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Directions
Drain yogurt for 1 hour in a cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove some of its water. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt over the grated cucumber and drain, 10 to15 minutes, to extract excess water. Add drained cucumber to yogurt, along with pepper, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with mint leaves. Serve with pita triangles or grilled fish.

This did not taste authentic to me, but was still okay. But it was again, only okay.
