Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 ounces plain whole-milk yogurt
2 large cucumbers
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk
2 cloves garlic
¼ cup finely chopped fresh mint, or to taste
1 small bunch chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, or to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and ground white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Line a fine sieve with a coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth. Add yogurt and strain for 30 minutes. Pour away the whey that collects.

Add remaining yogurt, buttermilk, garlic, mint, and parsley; process everything until finely pureed. You might have to work in batches depending on the size of your blender. Add olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
