For cooking, take 2, 5 tablespoons. natural yogurt, 2, 5 tbsp. sour cream (15%) and stir. Chop a clove of garlic, but do not forget to cut it in half and remove the core first. This will eliminate the unpleasant smell of garlic. Next, add garlic, black pepper and fresh cucumber, chopped to a mushy state, to sour cream and yogurt. At the end, season the sauce with 1 tsp. olive oil, salt and stir again thoroughly.
