Tzatziki (Cucumber Yogurt Dip or Sauce)<\/b><\/p>\n

Peel a cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds by scraping out the center portion of the cucumber with a spoon. Grate the cucumber and press it with a paper towel to remove the extra liquid. Mix the grated cucumber with 2 cups plain Greek yogurt<\/a>, 1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint (or 1\/3 tablespoon dry dill weed or mint), 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional), and 1\/4 teaspoon salt. Chill for 2 hours before serving. Serves 6.<\/p>\n

Serve generously alongside almost any hot dish or use as a spread or vegetable dip. You can make this recipe even more flavorful by adding a finely minced or crushed clove of garlic. To make a salad dressing, use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n
