Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain unsweetened yogurt
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons honey substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 0.5 cup finely chopped cucumber
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a blender, combine the mint leaves, honey substitute, vanilla extract, lime juice, and salt. Blend until the mint leaves are finely ground and the mixture is smooth.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the unsweetened yogurt.
Pour the mint mixture from the blender into the bowl with the yogurt.
Add the finely chopped cucumber into the yogurt mixture.
Stir everything together gently until all ingredients are well combined and the yogurt turns a light green, speckled with cucumber bits.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld together, although this step is optional if you're in a hurry.
Serve cold and garnish with a few additional mint leaves on top if desired.
