INGREDIENTS

-12 oz. cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut in quarters (or the equivalent of one and a half long cucumbers)

-1 tsp. salt

-2 cloves garlic

-1 tsp. dill or dill weed

-1/2 oz. olive oil

-12 oz. nonfat Greek yogurt

-1/2 oz. lemon juice

-1/2 tsp. black pepper

PROCEDURE

Place the cucumbers in a food processor and add the salt. Blend until finely chopped. Remove the cucumber and let it drain for 10 minutes.

In the same food processor, add the two garlic cloves, the olive oil, the dill and the lemon juice and puree until the garlic is in very small pieces. Now add the cucumber (make sure it does not have excess water – if so, remove the excess with kitchen paper), the Greek yogurt and the black pepper. Mix together with the chopped garlic and the rest of the ingredients.

Add salt if necessary.

Enjoy with vegetables such as carrots, cucumber, cherry tomatoes or raw broccoli! A real treat!
