Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk plain yogurt
- 4-5 Persian cucumber finely diced (peeling skin, optional)
- 1 lemon juiced about 2 tbsp
- 1 lemon zested about 1 tbsp
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup freshly chopped mint
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
Instructions
- Add the chopped cucumber into a large bowl.
- Add the zest of the lemon, juice of the lemon, garlic, mint, and salt. Mix to combine.
- Add the yogurt, stir, and fold until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Enjoy right away.
Notes
- This makes 3 cups of sauce.
- The smaller the cucumber is chopped, the better.
- If you don't like garlic, simply omit it.
- Use lime if you don't have a lemon.
- Iodized salt is saltier than kosher, so adjust the seasonings accordingly.
