Ingredients

  • 2 lb potatoes small new potatoes, cut into halves or quarters
  • 1 Cucumber peeled, sliced length ways and cut into quarters
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2/3 Cup Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 3 spring onions finely sliced
  • Juice and zest of one lemon
  • large handful mint leaves roughly torn

Instructions

  • Boil potatoes until they are just getting soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and cover. Let them sit like this for about 30 minutes.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, zest and spring onions. Stir well to combine. Reserve a few spring onions and a little lemon zest for garnish.
  • When the potatoes have cooled, transfer them to a large serving bowl, add the cucumber and pour over your yogurt mixture. Gently stir in the mixture, careful not to tear apart the potatoes. Once the mixture is completely stirred in, top with a few more spring onions, lemon zest and the mint leaves.
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
