Ingredients
- 2 English cucumber
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 3 Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Peel one and a half of the cucumbers, leaving the remaining half unpeeled for added texture and color. Slice them into chunks for easier blending.
Step 2
Reserve a few thin slices of cucumber for garnish, if desired.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, mint leaves, and garlic clove.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cold water to the blender.
Step 5
Blend the ingredients until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again briefly to chill the soup and make it extra refreshing.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Step 8
Pour the soup into bowls or glasses, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes if time allows for an even colder serving.
Step 9
Garnish with the reserved cucumber slices and an extra sprinkle of chopped dill or mint, if desired, before serving.
