I love dips and sauces. I think everything needs a sauce. This one is good on so many different things. I love it on falafel, or with pitas, or on tortilla chips, or as a dip for veggies. It is really versitile.
Recipe:
1 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup minced cucumber
1 garlic clove, smashed, minced, and made into a paste*
juice of one thick slice of lemon (like half and inch thick)
1 tsp dill
salt
pepper
Stir everything together in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper. This gets better if you put it in the fridge for a bit first so the flavors can come together.
*Garlic paste: since raw garlic is very harsh you don't want to get chunks of it in the dip. In order to avoid this mince the garlic clove as finely as possible. Then sprinkle quite a bit of salt on the cutting board and put the garlic on top of it. Take a nice big knife and use the whole blade to scrape the garlic against the salted board. Do this until the garlic is sticky and made into a paste and you can't see individual pieces.
