Makes: 2 ½ cups

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated cucumber (from about 1 medium cucumber). No peeling or seeding is necessary.
• 1 ½ cups plain Greek-style plant-based yogurt
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint and/or dill
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 medium clove garlic, pressed or minced
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

• Working with a handful at a time, squeeze the grated cucumber over the sink to remove excess moisture. Transfer the squeezed cucumber to a serving bowl, and repeat until all of the cucumber is drained.
• Mix in the yogurt, olive oil, herbs, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to the bowl. Stir well and let rest for 5 -10 minutes. Taste and add additional chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, and/or salt, to taste.
• Chill until serving.
