This refreshing cucumber salad combines creamy yogurt with fresh and dried herbs for a delightful side dish.
In a mixing bowl, stir the plain yogurt until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Using a whisk can make the yogurt extra smooth and airy.
Dice the fresh cucumbers into small cubes and add them to the yogurt.
For a crunchier texture, leave the cucumber skin on.
Mix in the minced garlic and fine salt, stirring well to combine.
Adjust the salt to taste, starting with a smaller amount.
Sprinkle the fresh and dried mint over the salad and gently fold them in.
Reserve a pinch of dried mint for garnish.
Serve the salad chilled, optionally garnished with a sprig of fresh mint.
Pair with warm pita bread for a delightful combination.
