Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 Persian cucumber small diced
  • 1 garlic clove finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus more as needed

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, mint, and salt.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a more pourable sauce, you can thin it by stirring in ¼ cup of water.
  • Serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. The sauce will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
Make Ahead Tips: You can make the cucumber yogurt sauce up to a day in advance and double or triple the recipe to have it on hand to use it for a few days.
