Ingredients

1 each European cucumber
3 each garlic clove mashed to a paste
2 tablespoon mint finely chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1.5 cups greek yogurt plain

Instructions

Peel and chop cucumber to ¼ dice. Place in a colander and add a generous about of kosher salt. Let sit for 15 mins, rinse and squeeze out as much of the water as possible.
Mix the cucumber and the rest of the ingredients, add salt as needed.

Notes

This comes together quick and easy, and far surpasses anything you can buy in the store. I've seen some people subsiture dill for the mint, and add replace half of the yogert with sour cream. I've tried it, and like it every way, but this is my favorite.

I do add 2 tablespoon of Red Wine vinegar to it most of the time.
