Ingredients
  

  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl, pour the dressing over, and toss to coat. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Fold in the chopped mint, transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with extra mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the crispest salad, serve right away. If you need to make it ahead, store the dressing, cucumber slices, and mint separately in the fridge and combine just before eating.
