Method
Prepare cucumber
- Coarsely grate the cucumber. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, rest 5 minutes, then squeeze firmly in a clean cloth or hands to remove as much water as possible.
Mix
- Crush or finely grate the garlic; finely chop the dill.
- Stir yoghurt until smooth, then fold in cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil and salt.
- Chill at least 30 minutes before serving so the garlic mellows. Taste and adjust salt or lemon.
Serving
Serve chilled with grilled meats, flatbread or as a dip for vegetables.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 3 days. Stir before serving; drain any liquid that separates.
