Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 small Persian cucumbers diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Dice the cucumbers small. If they seem very juicy, gently squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Add the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dried mint, and salt to a bowl.
  • Stir until fully combined.
  • Let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed before serving.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for the best texture.
Dice cucumbers small so the sauce stays creamy.
Letting it rest improves the flavors.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Stir before serving.
