Ingredients:
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup mint, fresh, chopped
1 Tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
Black pepper, fresh ground
Method:
1. Combine the cucumbers and salt in a sieve over a small bowl. The salt will pull the bitter water out of the cucumbers, making a thicker sweeter sauce. Allow to sit for 20 minutes.
2. Combine the Greek yogurt, garlic, mint, lemon juice and black pepper to taste.
3. Stir the cucumbers with a spoon in the sieve to drain excess water and salt. Add the cucumbers to the yogurt mixture.
Enjoy!
