Instructions

  1. Grate the cucumbers on the coarse side of the grater, then gently squeeze them between your hands to remove excess water.
  2. Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth.
  4. Stir in the garlic, lemon juice and drained cucumbers.
  5. Add the chopped mint, salt and pepper, then mix well.
  6. Spread the salad on a plate, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sumac.
  7. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.

Variations and tips

Dried mint version. Add a spoonful of dried mint in place of fresh mint if you don't have any.

Using what's easy to find. Fresh white cheese whipped smooth, or firm plain yogurt, gives a very similar texture.
