Ingredients:

3 baby cucumbers, peeled
Juice from 1 lemon
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 16oz tub of fat free greek yogurt
3 garlic cloves minced
1 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

Method:
Using a cheese grater, grate cucumbers. Place cucumbers in a fine metal strainer and press out the juices with a spoon. Set aside.

In a food processor combine lemon juice and olive oil. Pulse ½ cup of greek yogurt at a time to emulsify with the oil and lemon.

In a bowl combine yogurt-olive oil mixture with reserved grated cucumbers, minced garlic, and fresh mint. Salt and pepper to taste.

Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours to allow the flavours to merge.
