3 cloves minced garlic
2 cups plain Greek yogurt

4. Allow the grated cucumber to sit in the strainer for 25-30 minutes to drain any extra moisture away.
5. Discard the water that acumulated in the bowl from the cucumber.
6. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
7. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using in order for the flavors to develop more fully.
