This is something simple but it taste wonderful. I was looking for something to go with hamburgers tonight and made this. It was delicious!
3 cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plain whole yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
Peel cucumber and slice very thinly using the fine blade in your food processor. Place in a bowl and mix with salt. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.
Place cucumbers in a colander and drain about 1/2 hour, turning occasionally. You may wish to pat or squeeze cucumbers in a towel to remove remaining moisture. Peel and mince garlic and mix with yogurt. Add cucumber to yogurt mixture and chill well. Serve with pita bread.
I would like to suggest using Fage yogurt. It is excellent for this and I also used the mini cucumbers which I think has a lot better flavor. The skin on these cucumbers are so thin I didn't peel them. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to do all the above. I just threw it all in a bowl and mix it well and it was great. But this would be wonderful in pita bread with some garden cherry tomatoes.
