Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

1. Prepare Cucumber

Peel one medium cucumber completely to remove the skin, cut it in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into thin, half-moon shapes. Place the sliced cucumber in a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss gently and allow to rest for about 10 minutes, then drain the excess liquid.

2. Combine Ingredients

To the bowl of drained cucumber, add ¾ cup of whole-milk yogurt, a small garlic clove pounded into a purée, a tablespoon of olive oil, and mint leaves cut into a chiffonade. Gently stir all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
