1 cup shredded cucumber
1 cup fat free plain yogurt
1 garlic clove finely minced
1 heaping tablespoon of chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Place yogurt in a strainer lined with cheese cloth and allow to drain overnight into a bowl (you are looking to thicken up the yogurt and get a good amount of liquid out). Place shredded cucumber in a piece of cheesecloth and wring out excess liquid. The goal is to get as much liquid as possible out of these 2 ingredients.
Mix the yogurt and cucumbers with remaining ingredients, adjust salt and pepper to taste, and allow to sit for at least an hour (preferably 2-3) before eating. The longer it sits, the juicier it gets however (drain off the juice before serving).
Eat as a dip with pita chips (Stacy's Naked are the best) or as a sauce with lamb dishes.
