Greek sauce
Description
Universal dressing for salads and hot dishes. It's best to prepare this sauce using seasonal cucumbers, as their flavor will be richer and free of bitterness. Different recipes may include various herbs, such as parsley, dill, or mint. Cucumbers can be cut into larger pieces or finely grated for a more homogeneous consistency.

Step 1
1. My cucumbers are homegrown, with thin skin and sweet. I wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt and cut them into small cubes. I sprinkle the cucumbers with salt and set them aside for a few minutes to draw out the liquid, then drain them in a colander.
