6-8 ounces plain Greek yogurt
6 inch piece of cucumber, peeled and thickly grated
1 or 2 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
Zest and juice from 1/2 lemon
salt

Directions

Strain yogurt. I use a coffee filter in a fine mesh strainer.
After you grate cucumbers, strain the cucumbers by either placing them in a coffee filter in a fine mesh strainer or putting them in a towel and wriging it out.
Put the strained yogurt in a bowl and add the cucumber and mix.
Add the garlic, olive oil (if using), mint, lemon juice, zest, and salt. Mix well.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill lightly.
