TZAJIKI
=======
Ingredients:
------------
1 medium cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 pint (1 cup) thick yogurt (you may want to drain U.S. yogurt in
cheesecloth/strainer overnight to achieve the Greek thickness)
can also use "blender" sour cream made with cottage cheese
1 tblsp olive oil
1 tsp vinegar
1 clove garlic
1 tsp chopped dill weed (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Mix together and chill for at least 1 hour. Serve as a dip, with fried
fish, or with fried eggplant or fried zucchini. Excellent with
crudites. If you run whole thing through blender it makes a delicious
cold soup. It is also great as a virtually non-fat salad dressing.

Place in a colander in sink or over a bowl, sprinkle generously with salt, mix well and let drain for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour. Rinse and gently pat dry. Press the garlic into a bowl and, using a fork, mash it with a little bit salt. Add the thickened yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, and if desired, the pepper and mint. Mix well. Serve or refrigerate up to two days so flavors will mingle. Stir again before serving and sprinkle with additional minced mint leaves if desired.
