Ingredients

2 1/2 C. Plain whole Greek yogurt
1 1/2 Persian small cucumbers
1/2 Fresh Lemon- Juiced
1 Tsp. Kosher salt
2 Garlic cloves-peeled and trimmed
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Red wine vinegar
4 Grinds of fresh ground pepper
1 Small bunch of fresh Dill-chopped
1/4 Tsp. Za'taar- Garnish
1/4 C. Fresh Parsley- chopped plus a little for garnish

Directions

Wash and trim ends of cucumbers, and use a small mandolin to slice cucumbers.
Let them sit on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Using a pestle and mortar, flat side of a kitchen knife, smash the garlic into a fine paste or a garlic grate plate works well too.
In a medium bowl, add your yogurt, garlic paste, cucumbers, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Alternating a little at a time, add your olive oil and vinegar while mixing.
Next, add your lemon juice and fresh Dill.
Cover and chill until use for at least an hour.
