    Drain 1 cup yogurt in a strainer/cheesecloth/coffee filter, then combine

    1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tsp greek seasoning
    1/4 tsp oregano
    1/4 tsp rosemary
    1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
    1/2 cucumber, peeled, chopped
    1/4 onion, diced

    I like a lot of mint, but you can add less if you'd like

    Tzatziki!

    Cucumbers mixed into greek yoghurt, with garlic, dill (or mint) and lemon juice to taste.

    For best results chop cucumbers, remove seedy part in the centre (I cut length ways first and use a small spoon to scoop) and sprinkle with salt, leave in a collinder for a while (at least 30 mins but a few hours is better) - this draws out a lot of the moisture. Pat dry with paper towel before use.

    Usually the cucumbers are peeled and cut finely so it is a sauce/dip, however I don't bother peeling mine and cut them into semi circle slices, so it's more of a yoghurty salad.

    Also, you can cut the cucumbers into sticks and dunk into the dip of your choice! (hummus for me!)

    i lik it asian style. Sliced cucumbers, red onion, lite seasoned rice wine vinegar, a pinch of sugar and crushed red pepper flakes. it can be a side, or throw it on top of some spinach and top with grilled shrimp for a meal.
