Preparation
1. In a serving bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vinegar, stirring until smooth.
2. Fold in the grated garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure the garlic and seasonings are evenly distributed.
3. Top with the halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter the sliced fresh basil over the top.
5. Finish with an extra crack of black pepper and a small pinch of sea salt if desired.
For best results, let it sit for 5 minutes before eating to allow the flavors to meld. You can serve this with warm pita bread or use it as a protein-rich base for a grain bowl.
Tip: For extra flavor, you can marinate the tomatoes and cucumbers in a bit of the vinegar, olive oil, and salt for 10 minutes before mixing it into the yogurt.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
