Tzatziki
(Cucumber and Yogurt Salad)
This cucumber dip goes with everything!
2 c. pressed yogurt
1 cucumber
4 cloves pressed garlic
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. vinegar
Diced dill
Salt & pepper
Grate the cucumber and strain tightly using a cloth until very dry.
Line a bowl with cheesecloth and empty the yogurt into it. Bring the
edges of the cheesecloth together and tie to make a
bag. Suspend the bag over the bowl and let drain for an hour or
longer. The yogurt will take on much thicker
consistency, like heavy cream. Empty the yogurt into a clean bowl
and add the remaining ingredients. Blend thoroughly
and chill well.
