Tzatziki - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced (1/2 of a medium cucumber)
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 dash lemon juice (optional)
salt (you really need salt on plain yogurt...it helps it taste a lot better)
pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried dill, crumbled between your thumb and forefinger to sprinkle over the yogurt (crumbling it helps release a bit more of the flavor)
1 teaspoon of fresh mint, finely chopped (or 4 pinches of dried mint, crumbled between thumb and forefinger, sprinkled over the yogurt)

Preparation

Combine all ingredients and stir well.
Chill for at least a half hour before serving. Makes 4-5 very generous servings.
