Cacik - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cucumber
salt
8 ounces plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon mint

Preparation

Finely grate cucumber. Put grated cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with a little salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes, this will help get the excess water out of the cucumber.
With your hands, squeeze the excess water out of the cucumber.
Put into a bowl and mix in yogurt and dill or mint. Enjoy!
While in Turkey, I don't really remember it having dill or mint but have found I like it with either one. Also, I add two cloves of garlic and I am well into garlicky flavor.
