Peel the cucumber and slice into thin strips. Place it in a sieve and mix the teaspoon of salt with the cucumber. Let it stand for at least half an hour to drain. In the meantime, pour the yogurt into a bowl, add pepper, Society Garlic salt (or regular salt if desired), and olive oil, and mix. Cut or chop the garlic (8-14 leaves, depending on the length) into very fine strips and mix in. After the half hour of soaking time, squeeze the cucumber dry with your hands and add it to the yogurt mixture. Season to taste. Let it stand for at least another 2 hours, or longer if desired. Garnish with a few flowers, if desired.
