Cucumber recipe.....?

Hello My Friend,

Well my favourite Cucumber dip is a mediterranean style used on a Gyro sandwich, which consists of :

*** Keefer Cheese or Greek Yogurt

*** 1-Cucumber (chopped)

*** 3-Garlic cloves (chopped)

*** 2 tsp. Fresh Lime Juice

*** 1/4 tsp. Ground Pepper

*** 1/4 tsp. Sea Salt (fine ground)

Mix together and refrigerate

at least 30 minutes or longer

for best taste.

:::: I make a sandwich of thin sliced Lamb pan fried, put into Pita Bread with Cucumber dip add tomatoes, lettuce and sliced cucumber

It is Good ! and good for you. Ken

This is more of a salad than a dip. Try this, peel and slice 1 cucumber;slice 1 onion in thin slices; add about 1 cup sour cream;salt and pepper to taste. Keep in the fridge for an hour or so then serve.

Cucumber && Yogurt Dip

1/2 pound cucumber (roughly 1 medium)

1 cup plain yogurt

1 small garlic clove, minced

1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Salt to taste

Peel and seed the cucumbers. Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the cucumber into a small bowl. A handful at a time (kids like doing this), gently squeeze the water out of the grated cucumber. (More than half a cucumber's weight is water.) Return the cucumber to the bowl and stir in the yogurt, garlic, mint, and salt.

This dip is robust and oh-so-good. It tastes best with raw vegetables or crackers. Or try it with hot mozzarella sticks.

1 medium scallion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup plain yogurt

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove, crushed

1. Process all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until creamy and smooth.

2. Transfer dip to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

3. Store in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 2 to 4 servings
