| 3 | * Ingredients |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - 1 cup plain yogurt |
| 6 | - 1 small seedless cucumber (peeled) |
| 7 | - 1/4 white onion |
| 8 | - 1 clove garlic (or two if you so choose) |
| 9 | - 1/2 tsp black pepper |
| 10 | - 1/2 tsp salt |
| 11 | - 2 tsp finely chopped mint |
| 12 | |

| 16 | preference). Mix everything together. Chill. |

| 18 | * Notes |
| 19 | |
| 20 | I like to grate my vegetables; this results in a bit of a different |
| 21 | texture as the water and pulp from the grated vegetables mixes with |
| 22 | the Yogurt. If you dice the vegetables instead the texture is a bit |
| 23 | more yogurty, **and** you need to refrigerate it for a bit longer before |
| 24 | eating. Make it both ways and see; it only takes ten minutes to throw |
| 25 | together a batch. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | A good yogurt with cream makes for a very nice base texture. |
