Thicken the yogurt by draining the whey from it ( about 5+ hours) through a coffee filter.
Grate cucumber and sprinkle with salt. Let the cucumber rest for 30 min. in a sieve over a sink or bowl to drain moisture from it. Pat dry with paper towels.
Mix the onion, minced garlic, dill, cucumber, salt, pepper & lemon juice into the yogurt.
Great as a dip or as a sandwich spread.
Enjoy!

Amaranth, an ancient golden seed, is making a comeback because of its nutritional profile and delicious taste. It is a good source of protein, calcium, B vitamins, and fiber.
I needed to check the calorie count on this recipe which I'd gotten from the internet.
The original recipe called for slightly larger amounts of chickpeas and squash, 8 leaves of mint and a handful of coriander instead of basil and oregano. I began with the amount of squash I'd brought home from the green market and modified the chickpea amount to fit that. I didn't have mint or coriander on hand when I made the recipe, so I made the substitution. The flavor is different but I doubt there's any difference in calorie count.
The cooking time stated is for all prep,cooking the squash, using canned chickpeas.
If you cook the chickpeas from their dried state the cooking time will be longer.
