- 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
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.
