Ingredients
- 500g Natural Yoghurt
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Dried Mint
- 1 Cucumber
- 2 cloves minced Garlic
Instructions
1
step 1
Put a sieve over a large dish, line it with a thick sheet of non-dyed kitchen paper or a sanitize muslin cloth, and spoon in the yogurt.
2
seal with another sheet of kitchen paper and leave to strain in the fridge for a minimum of 12 hrs.
3
step 2
introduce the lemon liquid, most of the olive oil and the dried mint to a dish and mix gently well for the dried mint to soften and soak up the juices.
4
toss together in the strained yogurt, then transfer away the strained yogurt liquid and leave that dish to one side.

step 3
Halve the cucumber(s) lengthways and remove the seeds by running a teaspoon from the top to the bottom of the flesh, halve the cucumbers widthways to make them shorter and easier to handle, then coarsely shred each one into the dish the yogurt was straining over.
6
Using sanitize hands (or a sanitize muslin cloth), squeeze as much of the liquid out of the cucumber as possible.

step 4
introduce the strained, grated cucumber, garlic and ¾ tsp flaky table salt to the rest of the fixings and toss together well.
8
finish off with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of dried mint.
