Ingredients
1 medium English cucumber
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
2 cloves garlic, grated
Juice of 1 lemon, about 3 tablespoons
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
Directions
- Line a strainer with a clean kitchen towel and place over a bowl. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cucumbers and toss together by hand. Put the salted cucumber into the towel lined strainer and let sit for 10 minutes. Use the kitchen towel to squeeze out any remaining moisture.
- Stir the cucumber, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Gently fold in the dill and mint. Serve drizzled with more olive oil.
