A refreshing and creamy dip perfect for any occasion.
Line a sieve with a damp cheesecloth and place it over a bowl.
Ensure the cheesecloth is damp to prevent sticking.
Pour the yogurt into the sieve, cover, and refrigerate to drain for 12 hours.
Draining the yogurt removes excess liquid, making it thicker.
Peel and grate the cucumber, then place it in a colander.
Grating the cucumber ensures it mixes well with the yogurt.
Sprinkle salt over the cucumber and let it sit for 30 minutes to drain.
Salting draws out excess water from the cucumber.
Squeeze the cucumber to remove any remaining liquid.
Removing as much liquid as possible prevents the dip from becoming watery.
In a bowl, mix the drained yogurt, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve chilled with your choice of accompaniments.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
