Fig It!

Ingredients:

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt 

1 clove garlic, minced

1/3 cup  mint, fresh, chopped

1 Tablespoon lemon juice, fresh

Black pepper, fresh ground

Method:

1. Combine the cucumbers and salt in a sieve over a small bowl. The salt will pull the bitter water out of the cucumbers, making a thicker sweeter sauce.  Allow to sit for 20 minutes.

2. Combine the Greek yogurt, garlic, mint, lemon juice and black pepper to taste.

3. Stir the cucumbers with a spoon in the sieve to drain excess water and salt. Add the cucumbers to the yogurt mixture.

Enjoy!
