Snezhanka (Snow White) Salad
3-4 cucumber
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup of yogurt
1 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
Put the yogurt into a bowl, avoiding the liquid portion or after straining it in cheesecloth if it’s not thick Greek yogurt. Peel the cucumbers and dice them, then sprinkle the salt on them. Put the cucumbers in a strainer for half an hour so some of the juice will drain off. After they’ve been drained, combine them with the yogurt and add the crushed garlic after you’ve chopped that. Add the oil and mix well.
