Wash the cucumbers and slice them in half without peeling the skin.

If there are too many seeds, cut a V shape in the middle to remove the seeds.

Chop the cucumbers into small pieces.

Combine the chopped cucumbers, minced garlic, dry mint, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Mix everything very well to blend the flavors together.

If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of cold water and mix again.

Garnish with fresh mint before serving.
