Introduction
Delicious sauce for anything from chicken to salmon to rice or just as a dip for brad or veggies-It disappears faster than you can serve it.
Use 1 large seedless cucumber with the peel if you can or 1 1/2 regular cucumbers peeled if you don't have seedless. Salt and pepper are always to taste, and the olive oil is optional but gives the sauce a bit of richness that is pretty good.
This sauce doesn't usually call for onion, but, I like it. Delicious sauce for anything from chicken to salmon to rice or just as a dip for brad or veggies-

Ingredients
-
Yogurt plain, nonfat- 32 oz container
Cucumber (with peel) 1 large or 1 1/2 medium
Garlic minced or pressed, 2 cloves
Fresh chopped dill 2 Tbs
Lemon juice 1/4 cup
Salt, 1 dash
Pepper, black, 1 dash
Onions, raw, 1 tbsp chopped
Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
Directions
Line a strainer with a cheese cloth or coffee filters. I use coffee filters. Place strainer in pot or bowl. Empty yogurt into strainer and place in frige for a few hours, allowing water to drain away from yogurt. It is important to do this or you will have watery sauce- yuck.
In the meantime, wash your cucumber, and cut off the ends- split in half lengthwise, and scoop out the watery middle where the seeds are (even seedless cucumbers have this) Grate your cucumber with a metal grater or in the food processor. Place on cheese cloth, or paper towels, and squeeze out as much water as you can. Again, very important- watery sauce- yuck.
Place cucumber in bowl, add strained yogurt, and all other ingredients- mix well, cover, place in frige for 2 hours, and serve with just about anything. Nutrition info is to serve 8.
