    I haven't tried with English cucumbers, I will next time. I usually peel and seed the regular ones, then shred and sit it on paper towel for a half hour or so. I've never used the food processor. Another tip for next time.

    If you want a thicker sauce, you can strain the greek yogurt overnight in a cheesecloth.

    I also love using mint and dill instead of just one or the other. Mmm.

    What kind of olive oil? Using 3 tablespoons sounds like it should be a lot more calories than 15 calories per serving.

    I use Bertolli Classico. One of the great things about this recipe is that all of the ingredients are healthy (even olive oil is good in moderation, and you are only having a mere 0.075 of a tbsp of olive oil per serving). Greek yogurt is amazingly low in calories compared to sour cream (and I use full fat greek yogurt too).

    The recipe makes 2.5 cups which is 40 tbsp. 3 Tbsp divided by 40 servings really isn't all that bad ;)
