A refreshing Cypriot yogurt dip made with grated cucumber, crushed garlic, and dried mint, thicker and mintier than its Greek cousin tzatziki.

Ingredients

1 Grate cucumber coarsely, place in a sieve, salt lightly, and squeeze out all moisture.
2 Combine strained yogurt with the drained cucumber in a bowl.
3 Add crushed garlic, dried mint, olive oil, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
4 Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavours meld.
5 Drizzle with olive oil and extra mint before serving.

Did You Know?

Cypriots use dried mint instead of dill, which is the key difference from Greek tzatziki — a distinction they will passionately defend.
