Barbecues are a part of the Greek tradition. It is an event were family and friends come together to enjoy grilled food but also to share stories and drink a bit of Ouzo. But what would be a barbecue without any sauces and dips? is a traditional Greek dip which fresh taste perfectly rounds up the flavor of grilled meat.

And here is the recipe:

What you need:	How to make it:
1 cucumber 2 gloves of garlic, minced ¼ a cup of extra virgin olive oil 500g strained Greek yogurt Juice of one lemon 2-3 tbsp chopped fresh mint A pinch of salt	1. Remove the skin and the seeds of the cucumber and grate it into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave aside for 10min. 2. Wrap the cucumber in a towel and squeeze it to get rid of extra water. 3. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, Greek yogurt, the lemon juice, the mint and the pinch of salt. Mix it all together. 4. Store it in the fridge and always serve it cold. 5. Enjoy!

Maybe you noticed the similarities to the famose Tzatziki but the use of mint and lemon juice instead of vinegar makes a huge difference in the taste. So it is definitefly worth a try.

Another important tip is to use seedless cucumbers and to dry the cucumber as good as possible like this you will achieve the creamy texture we want.
