Cucumber Dip Recipe
Tzatziki
The Cucumber Dip Recipe is also known as the Tsatsiki or Tzatziki recipe, which is why we call it Cucumber Dip. It's a great party dip recipe-- in any part of the world.
Cucumber Dip

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

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.
