Cucumber yogurt dip

Cucumber yogurt dip
(also known as tzatziki, one of my favorite foods)

1 cup plain yogurt
garlic, diced
pinch of dried mint
lemon juice
1/2 English (seedless) cucumber

Remove skin from cucumber. Grate cucumber and use paper towels to absorb much of the water in it. Mix with yogurt (the thicker the yogurt, the thicker your dip -- use regular yogurt for something that will go over salad, or Greek yogurt for a pita dip). Season with lemon juice, garlic and mint a little at a time until reaching preferred taste. When I visited Greece, I had tzatziki almost every day and each restaurant made it slightly different. Enjoy as part of a full dinner with these dishes.
