2 cups plain STRAINED
yoghurt
2 large cucumbers
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1-tablespoon olive oil
1/4 tablespoon of salt
1/4 tablespoon of pepper
Instructions:
In a small bowl, peel and grate
the cucumber. Drain well
*Tip: To drain
the cucumber you can use a strainer or you can
squeeze the grated cucumber between your hands.
You can also use the salt at this point to obsorb
the excess water from the cucumber.
In the same bowl add the vinegar,
olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add the strained yoghurt and
mix well
*Tip: To strain
your own yoghurt: Put the yoghurt in a thick
napkin or cloth. Put it in the strainer and
refrigerate them both in a bowl over night.
Refrigerate
*Tip: Garlic Powder
is a good alternative to fresh garlic as it
does not have a strong flavour like real garlic.
Use 2 dashes of garlic powder for this recipe.
