Tzatziki dip

It seems to me that every Mediterranean country has their version of this. I have had lighter, more salad-like preparations. This one is thicker sauce to dip meat skewers or vegetable fritters.

Ingredients

1 seedless cucumber

3 cloves garlic

1 cup sour cream

lemon juice

salt

Preparation

Shred the washed cucumber and salt. Set aside to drain for 30 minutes.

Peel and crush the garlic. Add to the sour cream.

Squeeze out the cucumber and mix into garlic sour cream. Season with salt. Serve or set aside for a few hours to allow the flavors to ripen together.
