Tzatziki

Ingredients:
Kosher salt
Garlic cloves - 2 medium
Yoghurt, plain - 1 1/2 C, Greek yogurt if possible
Cucumber - 3/4 C. peeled, seeded, & finely chopped
Red wine vinegar - 1 Tbsp
Mint leaves - 2 tsp, chopped. (Add a few more for garnish, if desired.)
Dill weed - 2 tsp, fresh, chopped
Olive oil - 2 tsp

Spread 3/4 tsp salt on a cutting board. Peel the garlic & finely chop it on top of the salt. Transfer the garlic and salt to a medium bowl & stir in the yogurt. Put the cucumber in a colander and squeeze as much liquid out of it as you can. Add the cucumber, vinegar, mint, dill, & olive oil to the yogurt mixture. Stir to blend & season with salt. Cover & chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

Serve cool, garnished with mint leaves (if using) and accompanied by fresh pita wedges or toasted pita chips.
