Ingredients
  • 1 large seedless cucumber
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounce labneh or plain greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, mint or chives (or a combination)
Directions
  1. Step 1: Peel off and discard about half of the skin from 1 large seedless cucumber. Put a four-sided grater into a colander. Use the largest holes to shred the cucumber into the colander.
  2. Step 2: Crush 2 to 3 garlic cloves into the cucumber strands; stir in 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Step 3: Let everything drain in the sink or over a bowl, about 30 minutes. Use your hands to squeeze as much water as you can out of the cucumber.
  4. Step 4: Put the squeezed cucumber mixture into a bowl. Stir in 16 ounces labneh or plain Greek yogurt and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, mint or chives (or a combination). Stir until well mixed. Refrigerate up to 2 days. Stir well before serving. Makes about 2 cups.
