Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cucumbers large
  • 1 cup Plain Yoghurt
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp Dill fresh
  • 1 tsp Thym dried

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. You can also peel the cucumbers partially or completely depending on your preference.
  • Mince the garlic thinly, and chop the dill.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, the thym, the lemon juice, and dill. Stir well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.
  • Gently fold the sliced cucumbers into the yogurt mixture until all the cucumber slices are well coated.
  • Sprinkle the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Keep in mind that cucumbers have a high water content, so a touch more seasoning might be needed to bring out the flavors.
  • Once everything is combined, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
