Ingredients:

  • 2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt (14 to 16 oz; preferably greek)
  • 1 (14- to 16-oz) seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), peeled, halved lengthwise, and cored
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 medium garlic cloves

Directions:

  1. If using a regular supermarket brand of yogurt (not Greek), drain in a paper-towel-lined sieve set over a bowl 1 hour. Discard liquid.
  2. While yogurt drains, cut cucumber into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to another sieve set over a bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then drain 1 hour. Rinse cucumber and pat dry.
  3. Mince and mash garlic to a paste with remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt using a large heavy knife. Stir together yogurt, cucumbers, garlic paste, and salt to taste in a bowl.
  4. Cooks' note: Cucumbers in yogurt can be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
