Equipment
- Mandoline Slicer with a julienne blade
Ingredients
- 1/4 cucumber grated (about 70g)
- 1 cup unsweetened soy yogurt
- 1 small garlic clove grated
- 1 tablespoon dill chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt + more to taste
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- cucumber slices for garnish
Instructions
- Use a mandoline slicer with a julienne blade to cut the cucumber into matchsticks. Put the grated cucumber on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and press out excess water.
- Grate the garlic. This works best with a garlic grater plate or you could also mince it very finely.
- Then, add the cucumber sticks, grated garlic, chopped dill, and salt to the yogurt. Give it a good mix and add more salt to taste, if needed.
- Optionally, you can drizzle it with olive oil and garnish with cucumber slices.
- You can serve it immediately, but it will taste even better if you give it 2 to 3 hours in the fridge for the garlic and dill flavors to emerge. You can also store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
