Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced (1/2 of a medium cucumber)
• 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 dash lemon juice (optional)
• salt (you really need salt on plain yogurt...it helps it taste a lot better)
• pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, crumbled between your thumb and forefinger to sprinkle over the yogurt (crumbling it helps release a bit more of the flavor)
• 1 teaspoon of fresh mint, finely chopped (or 4 pinches of dried mint, crumbled between thumb and forefinger, sprinkled over the yogurt)
