•150g Kefir with 50g of kefir cheese or Greek Yoghurt

•½ cucumber

•2-4 cloves garlic (crushed)

•1 tbsp olive oil

•1 tsp lemon juice or white wine vinegar

•1 tsp chopped or dried mint (or dill)

•½ tsp salt

•Pepper to taste
 

1. Peel the cucumber and cut it half lengthways and de-seed using a teaspoon, then coarsely grate

2. Put grated cucumber into a sieve suspended over a bowl and sprinkle over ½ tsp of salt and mix through.  Place a plate on top of the cucumber and allow cucumbers to drain for approx. 1 hr, or until water stops dripping

3. Combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly.  The flavours combine better over time
