Tzaziki - Cucumber Yogurt Dip

Tzaziki

2 Cups plain yogurt
1 Cup Lebni (can be found in any middle eastern market)
-if you can’t find Lebni substitute with plain Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove finely minced
1 tablespoons dried crushed mint
1 bunch of dill chopped finely
½ teaspoon salt
4-6 Persian Cucumbers or 1 English Cucumber
¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)


Using a cheese grater, grate your washed cucumbers (skin on) into a colander.  Allow the cucumbers to drain for about 10 minutes.  You can even pat them dry with papertowels to remove excess water.
Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl, combine well & refrigerate for 15 minutes prior to serving.


Enjoy with Pita Bread, Pita Chips or freshly chopped veggies as a dip!
