Ingredients
- 2 1/2 C. Plain whole Greek yogurt
1 1/2 Persian small cucumbers
- 1/2 Fresh Lemon- Juiced
- 1 Tsp. Kosher salt

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.
Assembly:
When ready to serve- top with fresh Parsley and/or Dill and a bit of Za'taar.
Serve with warm pita or veggies of choice.
