This cool, fresh sauce makes a great accompaniment for grilled chicken, souvlaki or toasted pitta bread. Use the amounts below only as a guide and adjust according to your own taste. Make sure you grate or crush the garlic as you don’t want to have any lumps of garlic in this.
Ingredients
- 250g natural yoghurt
- ½ cucumber
- ½ clove garlic, finely grated
- fresh mint, a handful, chopped
- a pinch of dried oregano
- 1 lemon
- salt & pepper
Method
- Remove the seeds from the cucumber and coarsely grate into a bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and leave to stand for a few minutes. Squeeze the grated cucumber to remove most of the liquid.
- Add the yoghurt, fresh mint, oregano and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well and season to taste with a little salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
