Instructions
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under running water.

Mince the garlic clove and add it to the yogurt mixture.
Chop the fresh dill and mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl.
Stir the yogurt dressing until all ingredients are well combined.
Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl and gently toss until the cucumbers are fully coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the ground black pepper over the salad and give it one final stir.
Cover the salad and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the cucumber salad cold and enjoy as a refreshing side dish.
