  • 1 handful fresh mint finely chopped
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grate 0.5 Cucumber into a bowl and then scoop up some in your hand and squeeze all the juice out into another bowl (save to add to green smoothies), and continue until you have done all the cucumber.
  2. Add the cucumber to a bowl with 350 g Greek yogurt, 3 Garlic clove, juice of 0.5 Lemon, 1 handful Fresh mint and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
  3. Mix well and leave in fridge for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with pita bread and crudités.

Notes

  • Give this dip a veggie boost by swapping the cucumber for grated courgette, or using a mixture of the two.
  • You can swap the mint for fresh dill.
  • You could use reduced fat Greek yogurt, but you wouldn't get the same flavour.
  • Make sure your properly squeeze all of the liquid out of the cucumber before mixing it in to the yogurt, otherwise you will have a really watery dip.
  • Make a vegan version of this by using a plant based yogurt.
