With the summer here there is always more things happening, week days and weekends. My favourite part of the summer must be the BBQ's, what a perfect way to cook food. A good quality piece of meat and some nice salads, dips and bread is all it takes to create the perfect summer meal. With all the fresh fruit and vegetables in season that is easy to achieve. Depending on what meat you decide to put on your BBQ there is plenty of options when it comes to the sides, but this Greek yogurt and cucumber dip seems to go well with pretty much anything. Personally I like it best with pork steak or chicken. In Greece they serve it with fresh, crusty bread and that is yummy too.
200 grams Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber
1 clove of garlic
fresh herbs: oregano, mint or dill (I prefer oregano)
salt, pepper, olive oil
Cut the cucumber in half length ways and take the seeds out. Grate quite coarse and sprinkle with salt, let rest in a bowl for 30min,. Squeeze the juice out from the cucumber through a fine sieve. Chop garlic finely and add to the yogurt together with the cucumber and herbs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, drizzle with olive oil.
