Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt
- 250 milliliters Cold water
- 1 medium (about 200 grams) Cucumber
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Crumbled feta cheese
- 40 grams Pitted olives (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and cold water until smooth and creamy. This forms the base of the soup.
Peel the cucumber (optional) and cut it into very small cubes or grate it using a box grater. Add the cucumber to the yogurt mixture.
Quarter the cherry tomatoes and stir them into the soup base.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mint leaves, and add them to the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and stir it into the soup.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the soup for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, stir the soup again to mix any settled ingredients.
Ladle the cold yogurt soup into serving bowls and top with crumbled feta cheese and pitted olives, if using.
Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for garnish and serve immediately.
