Matsoni sauce with cucumber and mint for dolma
This is a refreshing and flavorful sauce, perfect for serving with grape leaf dolma. The combination of matsoni, cucumber, and mint creates a delightful contrast to the dolma filling. Allow about 15 minutes of active preparation, 30 minutes for salting the cucumber and at least 2 hours of refrigeration. Total time is about 2 hours 45 minutes, or 3 hours 45 minutes if chilled for 3 hours.
