Preparation
Step 1
Coarsely grate the cucumber into a dish – some folk peel it first but I don’t bother.

Step 3
Add the yoghurt, garlic and chopped mint and season with the pepper.
Step 4
Mix well together and chill for as long as you are able to resist eating it!
Step 5
Before serving – grind over a little rock salt.
Eat with warm pitta bread, bread sticks or crusty bread.
Step 6
As they say in Greece – ...which I think, and hope, means ‘delicious’!
