~ Tzatziki~

(Yogurt, Garlic and Cucumber Dip)
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
16 ounces (2 cups) of thick Greek yogurt
4 to 10 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup of diced or grated cucumber (Kirby or "English")
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of lemon juice

Preparation:
Prepare all ingredients in advance. Combine oil and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Fold the yogurt in slowly, making sure it mixes completely with the oil. Add the garlic, according to taste, and the cucumber. Stir until evenly distributed.

Variation:
Garnish with a bit of green by adding 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill and/or mint.

Serve well-chilled. The longer the Tzatziki is refrigerated before serving, the more intense the garlic taste will become.

Yield: about 2-1/2 cups
