How to Make Yoghurt And Cucumber Dressing

Dice one medium cucumber (about 1 cup diced). Place in a colander and sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt.
Let the cucumber sit in the colander for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Gently squeeze the cucumber to remove as much water as possible. Discard any excess liquid.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, the squeezed cucumber, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
