Ingredients

1 (32 ounce) container plain yogurt
2 cucumbers
1 medium head garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Place the yogurt in a large square of double cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth at the top and let any excess liquid drain for about 4 hours.

Peel cucumbers; remove seeds with a spoon. Shred the cucumbers, then squeeze to drain excess liquid.

Peel and mince garlic.
