Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 0.5 small, grated cucumber
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and set them aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt.
Add the lime juice and lime zest to the yogurt. This will provide a fresh and tangy flavor to your yogurt.
Using a small grater, grate half of a small cucumber and gently squeeze out excess water before adding it to the yogurt mix.
Add the chopped mint leaves to the yogurt mixture.
To sweeten your yogurt without adding extra carbs, add erythritol or your favorite low-carb sweetener.
Season the mixture with salt and a pinch of black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
For the best taste, refrigerate the yogurt for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the yogurt chilled, either on its own or as a refreshing side to grilled meats or spicy dishes.
