Cucumber Yogurt Recipe

Prepare the Cucumber

Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then chop the cucumber into small cubes.

Mix the Yogurt Base

In a mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Use a whisk or a spoon to make it creamy and smooth.

Add Flavors

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the yogurt. Mince the garlic clove and mix it into the yogurt as well. Pour in the lemon juice, and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine Ingredients

Fold the chopped cucumber into the yogurt mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the cucumber yogurt for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a side dish.
