  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Santa Cruz Organic® Pure Lemon Juice
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint or dill minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • Step 1

    PLACE yogurt in medium bowl. Grate cucumber into a colander over a bowl and press to drain well; add up to two cups cucumber to yogurt and mix until well blended.
