Ingredients
  • 1 whole fat drained yogurt (200 gr.)
  • 1 spoonful of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 - 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/ 2 big cucumber
  • 1 tablespoonful of mild mustard (optional)
  • dried mint

Directions
  1. Peel the cucumber, remove seeds (if any with a spoon), shred the cucumbers, then squeeze to drain excess liquid..
  2. Peel and mince the garlic together with the salt.
  3. Add to cucumber and mix all ingredients together. If you like add 1 table spoonful of mild mustard. Sprinkle some dried mint on top.
  4. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before consuming, always keeping it covered to avoid smell in fridge.
  5. Tip: If you do not have drained yogurt, place the yogurt in a large square of double cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth at the top and let any excess liquid drain for about 4 hours.
  6. Tip: If you are on diet or have high cholesterol use 0% fat yogurt and only 1 teaspoonful of oil.

Thanks for the post....I love this stuff! Now I can make my own.


Yum. The addition of dried mint is something I had never thought of, I'll be making this very soon. Terrific Post.


Mint is a classic flavor for all things Greek. These are wonderful additions to the site! Thanks Ivy.


I love garlic and i love yogurt. i'll have to try this out... what is 1 yogurt ? 200 grams = how many cups ? Sorry! I'm still learning...


I love yogurt with garlic and herbs! It is such a wonderful compliment to meat, potatoes, green vegetables, etc. Thanks for sharing.


Thanks Ivy, Its a great recipe. I tried my own and can see where I went wrong! I had way too much garlic and did not put the olive oil.


Have a large container of yogurt will make this one today.Vernalisa
