Ingredients

• 1 English cucumber, peeled, halved and seeded
• Salt
• 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons harissa paste
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

Instructions

1. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater and place in a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth fitted over a bowl. Salt the cucumber and let it sit 10 minutes. Thoroughly squeeze out any excess moisture using the cheesecloth or a towel.
