easy tzatziki on a hot spring day

easy tzatziki

• 15 oz yogurt, preferable from Cozy Corner Farms or Greek yogurt
• 1 hot house cucumber or 2 regular cucumbers, leave some of the peel and seed
• 2 T lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 T vinegar
• 1 T fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp white pepper, freshly ground (use black if you don't have white. I prefer not to see the black flecks in this creamy white dip)
  

In a medium bowl over a sieve or into cheese cloth, grate half of the cucumber and chop the remaining half. I like this texture but you can either grate or dice all. Squeeze the excess juice from the cucumbers. You can drink this fresh, tasty shot of real juice or discard it. Mix all the ingredients and refrigerate for at least an hour for the flavors to marry. Serve with fresh veggies or toasty pita chips.
