A refreshing and flavorful yogurt-based dip, perfect for pairing with falafel or as a versatile sauce.
Peel and chop the cucumber into small pieces.
Removing the seeds from the cucumber can prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
Finely chop the red onion.
Use a sharp knife to achieve even and fine pieces.
In a blender, combine the yogurt, cucumber, onion, mint, salt, and garlic.
Blend until smooth for a creamy texture, or pulse for a chunkier consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more pronounced taste.
Serve the dip with your favorite sides and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a touch of elegance.
