#title Maast-O Khiar (Or, Less Pretentiously, Cucumber Yogurt)

* Ingredients

 - 1 cup plain yogurt
 - 1 small seedless cucumber (peeled)
 - 1/4 white onion
 - 1 clove garlic (or two if you so choose)
 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
 - 1/2 tsp salt
 - 2 tsp finely chopped mint

* Directions

Grate or dice cucumber, onion, and garlic (depending on your
preference). Mix everything together. Chill.

* Notes

I like to grate my vegetables; this results in a bit of a different
texture as the water and pulp from the grated vegetables mixes with
the Yogurt. If you dice the vegetables instead the texture is a bit
more yogurty, **and** you need to refrigerate it for a bit longer before
eating. Make it both ways and see; it only takes ten minutes to throw
together a batch.

A good yogurt with cream makes for a very nice base texture.
