Asharae Kroll
Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large cucumber peeled, seeded, and finely chopped (you can grate the cucumber but I'm too lazy for that)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 c mint finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • (Optional step) Place finely diced (or grated) cucumber in a sieve over a bowl and sprinkle with 1.5 tsp salt. Stir and let sit for 20 minutes or so. Press the water out of the cucumber with the back of a spoon and shake the sieve to release the water. If you do this step, you'll likely not need to add salt later on.
  • Combine cucumber with the rest of the ingredients and place in the fridge till ready to serve.
  • Note: the garlic will "flower" over time and the flavor will be much stronger the next day. I recommend serving to guests the day it's made, and staying away from friends if eating it the next day ;)
