Ingredients
  

  • 4 Persian cucumbers washed and quartered
  • 1 ½ tablespoons dried mint
  • 1.5 garlic cloves minced or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • 8 tablespoons leban
  • 6 ice cubes or 4-5 tablespoons ice-cold water depending on the consistency wanted

Instructions
 

  • Wash and cut your cucumbers –Wash the cucumbers really well. No need to peel them. Cut the cucumbers into quarters and place them in a large bowl.
  • Add garlic, salt, leban, and dried mint - We want to add in the rest of the ingredients at this point. Add in the freshly minced garlic, salt, leban, and dried mint, and then stir.
  • Pour in ice cubes or ice-cold water- To thin the mixture down and cool it down, add either ice cubes or cold water and mix to combine.
  • Serve immediately - After mixing, you can serve immediately or place it in the fridge for an hour to cool further and to allow the flavors to continue to develop. This is optional, however, as the salad is ready to go after mixing!

Notes

Serve immediately or refrigerate for one hour. The quality will diminish the longer it sits.
