Cucumber Yogurt Dip

---

I can not get enough of this recipe for this cucumber-yogurt dip/sauce. works well on roasted meats, in wraps, on rice, as a dip with vegetables or pita (or just baguette) on a spoon.... I used it on my curried chicken and rice recipe and it added a little coolness to the spices.

Steps

---

To drain the yogurt , line a mesh colandar with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and hang over a bowl.

---

Let the yogurt drain at least an hour or two , but no big deal if it is easier for you the night before.

---

If that is the case , make sure to cover the top and leave it in the fridge.

---

This can be skipped if you can get your hands on real greek yogurt , which is thicker than most commerical brands.

---

Place the now thickened yorgurt to a bowl and add the other ingredients.

---

Best if it sits for a bit to let the flavors combine , but with me , it is likely that it will get eaten long before.

---

You may keep leftovers in the fridge , but i find the raw garlic can get a bit intense upon sitting.

---

Not that that is a bad thing , but consider yourself warned.
