Tzatziki Sauce

This yogurt-cucumber sauce is a creamy accompaniment for anything heavily seasoned.  Jerk meat, gyros, blackened fish, or even seasoned veggies.  It doesn't erase the flavor of the seasonings, just balances them with something creamy.

1 C Greek yogurt
1/2 C peeled, seeded, and finely diced cucumber
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tb finely chopped mint leaves (fresh)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tb lemon juice

1.  The easiest way to seed a cucumber: cut in half lengthwise and get out a melon-baller.  One good swipe down the center should do it.

2.  Stir together all ingredients.  Taste, and add more salt or lemon juice if necessary.  Chill until ready to serve.

Makes 1-1/2 C
