Mix 1 liter of greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of salt, adjusting salt to taste.

Line a colander with cheese cloth folded a few times and set it in a shallow dish.

Pour the salted yogurt into the colander and squeeze out as much liquid or whey as possible.

Tie the cheesecloth at the top to form a tight bundle and place some weight on top.

Place the colander in the fridge for 24 to 36 hours for the remaining liquid to drain off and the yogurt to thicken.

After draining, taste the yogurt and add freshly cut greens and any spices of your choice.

Serve the thickened yogurt with pieces of cucumber and carrot.
