2 cucumbers peeled and sliced
1 shallot minced
1 clove of garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice of 1 lime
1-3 teaspoons fresh chopped dill
Kosher salt to taste
Cucumber slices and small dill sprigs for garnish.
Lay sliced cucumbers on a sheet pan covered with 2 layers of paper towel. Salt cucumbers liberally. Let them "sweat", about 20 minutes, to release moisture. In a blender or food processor, add cucumbers, yogurt, shallot, garlic, fresh dill, lime juice and ground cumin. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Check seasoning and add salt if necessary. Chill at least an hour before serving. Add garnish.
