Напрямки

Gather the ingredients.

Sprinkle grated cucumber with ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl and let stand 10 to 15 minutes to draw out juice.

Place yogurt into a separate bowl. Dump cucumber and its juice onto a sturdy, dry paper or cloth towel and squeeze as much moisture as possible from the cucumber. Mix cucumber into yogurt. Add garlic, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice; mix thoroughly.

Stir dill and mint into yogurt-cucumber mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Adjust all seasonings to taste.

For best results, cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprig of dill and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for color.

Enjoy!
