Tzatziki

The Cucumber Dip Recipe is also known as the Tsatsiki or Tzatziki recipe, which is why we call it Cucumber Dip.

Prepared with mint, scallions, cucumbers and a little garlic in a Greek-style yogurt base, it's a healthy, delicious classic, a great party dip recipe-- in any part of the world.

Cucumber Dip

2 cups thick, Greek-style yogurt
2 small cucumbers, peeled and diced
8 scallions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh chopped mint (2 Tbs. dried) plus a little for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

Tip: To remove excess moisture from the cucumber, salt the diced cucumber generously and place in a colander. Let it drain for 45 minutes to an hour, then rinse and pat dry.

In a small bowl, beat the yogurt until smooth.

Fold in the garlic and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.

Fold in the mint, then add the cucumber.

Garnish with a tablespoon of fresh chopped mint, if desired. Chill well before serving.

Serve with crusty bread or pita bread triangles and raw vegetables. Cucumber Dip also pairs very well with Dolmas .
