Ingredients
3 small cucumbers
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
2 cups yogurt (Greek is best.)
2 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
1. Grate the cucumber on the wide holes of a grater, mandolin, or food processor.  Put it in a colander in a large bowl or sink and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of kosher salt. Let drain for about 20 minutes.

2. Press the cucumber with your hands to get rid of some of the moisture and place in a medium mixing bowl.

3. Add the yogurt, dill, mint, garlic, cumin and pepper. Stir together and spoon into a serving bowl.

Note: You can also just put everything into your food processor and let it rip.  



Comments
This is modified from a Ted Allen recipe to go along with the most amazing lamb burgers.  It makes about 3 cups of sauce and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the extras.  Like most things with cucumber, it has a very summery refreshing taste.
