    WAY too much garlic. Made the recipe with Greek yogurt and was way too thick for a sauce or salad.
    Tip of draining chopped cucumber prior to mixing ingredients is very useful.

    I used dill instead of mint, greek yogurt and my garlic cloves must have been too big because mine it hot-garlicky....but, oh so good! Thank you - 3/18/09

    I've made this quite a few times in the past, and had some tonight with home-made yogurt. It's delicious! - 5/3/16
