Ingredients

10 minutes
3 servings
  1. 1⁄2 large Cucumber
  2. 2 cupsplain Greek yogurt
  3. 3 tablespoon Dill, finely chopped
  4. 1tablespoon Mint, finely chopped
  5. 1small Shallot, finely minced
  6. 2 clovesGarlic, crushed
  7. 1tablespoon fresh Lemon juice
  8. 1/2 teaspoonBlack Pepper, crushed
  9. 1tablespoon Olive oil
  10. as neededPaprika, for garnish
  11. as per tasteKosher Salt

Cooking Instructions

10 minutes
  1. 1

    Grate the cucumber add to it the minced shallot and toss with some salt. Set it aside for 5 minutes to ooze out the cucumber juice. The salt helps to draw out moisture from the cucumber.

  2. 2

    In the meantime, chop the greens – dill, mint and crush the garlic.
    Now squeeze excess water from the cucumber, else the sauce will be runny. To this add crushed garlic.

  3. 3

    Transfer the Greek yogurt in a bowl and give a gentle mix. Greek yogurt is nothing but the thick yogurt. If you feel your yogurt is not thick, let it rest in a strainer for an 1 hour to drain off any water.

  4. 4

    Now add the chopped greens and season with lemon juice, pepper and salt. Mix it all together and voila. To serve it, add a touch of extra-virgin olive oil for flavor and shine and sprinkle with paprika. Serve it with pita bread or fresh cut vegetables
