It can be a mixture of fatty sour cream and cottage cheese. Sour cream can also be replaced with ordinary unsweetened yoghurt, which is placed on a folded several times gauze and hang for several hours to leave excess fluid.

Cucumbers are cleaned from rough skins, rubbed on a grater and slightly squeezed through gauze. By the way, isolated juice is not thrown away, but used for cosmetic purposes. It can be frozen and rubbed with these cubes face - perfectly tones the skin!
We connect cucumbers with the main mass, salt to taste. We put the finished sauce in a salad bowl. It can be decorated with a sprig of oregano or mint leaves, olives and olives.
