Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
- 2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 lemon, juiced
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
Method
- 1.
- In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and garlic.
- Process until well-combined.
- Transfer to a separate dish, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavor.
- 2.
- To solve the runniness problem.
- You must drain the yogurt in a colander for a few hours.
- This is the way they do it the Greek restaurants.
- You should also salt and drain the cucumbers for an hour.
- I tried this recipe and drained the yogurt first.
- My update Note: PLEASE NOTE: yogurt will break down if it is stirred with too much force--especially using a food processor!
- This is why some people had runny results even after draining the yogurt overnight.
- Instead, chop everything else up separately and gently fold it into the yogurt with a spatula.
