Ingredients

  • ½ large English cucumber unpeeled
  • 1 cups plain yogurt thick like Balkan or Icelandic or Greek
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 large cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Grate the cucumber with the large side of a box grater into a sieve over a bowl and allow to drain 20 minutes. Press out as much liquid as you can after the 20 minutes are up.
  • Drain off any visible liquid from the yogurt. Allow yogurt to drain for 20 minutes in a separate sieve. (If your yogurt is thin then you may want to line the sieve with cheesecloth and drain yogurt over a bowl in the fridge overnight as well,) Add the olive oil, garlic and salt and cucumber and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve with Pita bread, baguette or raw vegetables for dipping.
