• Ready In: 14mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 1 cup
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 lemon cucumber
• 29.58 ml fresh dill
• 3 garlic cloves
• 236.59 ml yogurt, full-fat
• French bread

directions

1. Shred cucumber, skin and all. This is a really great way to use the whole vegetable. In this case, you’ll get a lot of juice and I highly recommend drinking it!
2. Sprinkle the shredded cucumber with a little salt and drain in a colander for about one to three hours in the refrigerator.
3. Crush 3 cloves of garlic.
4. Finely chop about 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.
5. Mix cucumber, garlic and dill with about 8 ounces of yogurt and add salt and pepper to taste. You may want to chill it for just a little bit before you serve it but that’s not necessary.
6. Serve with french bread or even crackers!
