Kittencal'S Tzatziki (Greek Cucumber And Yogurt Salad) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups Greek yogurt (yiaourti sakoulas)
2 lbs cucumbers (about 3 medium, peeled and chopped finely)
3 teaspoons minced fresh garlic (if you like a strong garlic taste add in more!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped of fresh mint
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Put the finely chopped cucumbers in a sieve and press out as much excess liquid as possible.
In a large bowl mix the minced garlic with the salt into a paste.
Add in the Greek yogurt (or strained yogurt) with garlic/salt paste, add to the drained cucumbers, mint, olive oil, more salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving (you won't be able to keep you spoon out of the bowl lol!).
