Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a bowl mix cucumbers, garlic, sea salt olive oil, and vinegar. In the absence of cucumbers, thick-sliced fried zucchini can be used along with chopped fried or roasted red peppers with the skin peeled off.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl thin the yogurt with cold water not to thin but not to thick. Personally, I like it more on the thicker side. You can also use your own homemade yogurt.
Step 3
At this point pour in the mixture from the first bowl and mix them all together.
Step 4
Serve in small bowls and drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
Step 5
Lastly, garnish with fresh chopped dill. Put in the refrigerator for half an hour to an hour to chill.
Step 6
This can be paired with grilled fish or meats and vegetables. Enjoy!
