The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Grate the cucumber into a sieve, salt it, and leave 10 minutes to draw out water.
  2. 2
    Squeeze the cucumber hard with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible.
  3. 3
    Mix with the yogurt, crushed garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  4. 4
    Drizzle with olive oil and stir through.
  5. 5
    Cover and chill at least 30 minutes — it's better after an hour for the flavours to meld.
