AUTHENTIC GREEK TZATZIKI
This is a lovely, cool, refreshing Greek tzatziki dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pita bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to always use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt. Low-fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Stir together olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in a bowl and let sit while you prepare the cucumber.
- Peel cucumber and cut in half lengthways; scrape out all the seeds. Grate cucumber with a cheese grater into a sieve set over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Strain out as much liquid as possible by pressing down in the sieve with the palm of your hand. Alternately you can wring cucumber out in a clean tea towel. Add cucumber and yogurt to the garlic mixture. Mix until well combined and season with salt to taste.

CUCUMBER YOGURT DIP
I can not get enough of this recipe for this cucumber-yogurt dip/sauce. Works well on roasted meats, in wraps, on rice, as a dip with vegetables or pita (or just baguette) on a spoon.... I used it on my curried chicken and rice recipe and it added a little coolness to the spices.

Steps:
- to drain the yogurt, line a mesh colandar with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and hang over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain at least an hour or two, but no big deal if it is easier for you the night before. If that is the case, make sure to cover the top and leave it in the fridge.
- This can be skipped if you can get your hands on real Greek yogurt, which is thicker than most commerical brands.
- Place the now thickened yorgurt to a bowl and add the other ingredients. Best if it sits for a bit to let the flavors combine, but with me, it is likely that it will get eaten long before.
- You may keep leftovers in the fridge, but I find the raw garlic can get a bit intense upon sitting. Not that that is a bad thing, but consider yourself warned.

CUCUMBER-YOGURT DIP
A cousin to Greek tzatziki, Ana Sortun's easy-to-make Turkish cucumber-yogurt dip includes a twist: dried mint. Serve with crackers and veggies as an appetizer, or (our favorite) dollop it on crispy potato latkes.

Steps:
- Cut the garlic clove in half and place the halves at the edge of the cutting board. Use the dull side of your chef's knife to cut the garlic almost to a mash, then use the sharp side to mince it. Put the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl along with a pinch of salt to remove the raw taste from the garlic and lightly pickle it.
- Chop the cucumber, scallions, and parsley and add them to the garlic.
- Finish by mixing in the yogurt, dried mint, and olive oil. Season with salt and serve with crudités, pita, or latkes.
