Answers:
Tzatziki (Yogurt And Cucumber Sauce):
3 cups plain yogurt
1 lemon, juiced
2 medium cucumbers, peeled, halved, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine with a fork!. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its called tsatsiki!. You will need to salt the cucumber to draw out the excess water, otherwise you will end up with a very liquidy and runny sauce!. So- dice the cucumber finely, salt well and let it sit in a sieve overnight in the fridge!. Squeeze the cucumber out and place in a bowl, with a few cloves of minced garlic, cracked pepper, juice of half a lemon, fresh oregano or marjoram (optional), and some people use dill!. I use half sour cream and half greek yoghurt otherwise its too sour!. taste for seasoning and voila!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Peel and finely dice the cucumbers!. Dice the onion the same size!. Mix with
