INGREDIENTS

1 peeled garlic clove
300 g snake cucumber
1 teaspoon of salt
200 g white Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon of finely chopped dill
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1
Cut the garlic lengthwise and remove the tough germ, which you discard. Finely chop the garlic.
2
Cut off both ends of the cucumber and slice it lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and coarsely grate the cucumber. Place it in a colander, set it over a bowl, and salt the cucumber. Stir and let stand for 10 minutes; the cucumber will release water.
3
Squeeze out the drained cucumber, mix it in a bowl with yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and olive oil. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Stir before serving.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
