Yields1 Serving

 2 cups cucumber, chunky dice
 ½ tsp sea salt
 ½ cup whole milk yogurt (European style preferred, but Greek will work)
 ½ cup torn fresh mint leaves, no stems
 1 tsp dehydrated minced garlic

1

If you're using very fresh garden cucumbers, make sure to scrub off all of the sharp spines and clean them thoroughly.

2

With a vegetable peeler, remove some of the cucumber's skin and both ends. You can peel a striped pattern vertically or just slice off tougher bits.

3

Slice the cucumbers from nose to tail. If you like, remove most of the cucumber's seeds - I leave some for texture - then flip them on their flat sides. Slice vertically and then into roughly 3/4" chunks.

4

Toss cucumbers in a bowl with sea salt, mint leaves, and dehydrated garlic.

5

Pour yogurt over the mixture and stir to combine. Salt more to taste - should be tangy and briney!

6

Eat immediately or store for up to 3 days.
