Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, beetroots and mint.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, maple syrup, salt and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the salad. Gently toss until everything is covered in the dressing. I like to use my hands to massage cucumber and beets to help tenderise them. Serve and enjoy!
