Instructions
Grate the cucumber on the large holes of the grater, toss with half the salt and leave for 10 minutes. Wrap in the towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Stir the cucumber into the yogurt with the garlic, lemon juice, oil, dill, mint and the rest of the salt.
Chill for at least 30 minutes so the garlic mellows into the yogurt. Taste for salt and lemon before serving.
Notes
- Keeps 4 days in the fridge. Stir before serving; a little liquid may separate.
