Tzatziki Dip!

I was preparing some dips for a little Olympics party that includes my husband, sister, brother in law, mother and her husband. So I decided some tzatziki dip and hummus and pitas would be a great idea! I found a few tzatziki dips online and none of them really suited what I thought a tzatziki dip should look like. So I used one as a mini guideline and decided to keep it super simple and make it my own. Here's what I came up with:

Abby's Tzatziki Dip!

1 kg plain yogurt
2 field cucumbers, shredded
2 tbsp Sunset Gourmet lemony dill
5 cloves of garlic, pressed

1) empty the plain yogurt into a bowl
2) press the cucumber into a kitchen towel or a lot of paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible
3) place the cucumber into a bowl, followed by the 2 tbsp of lemony dill
4) press the garlic right into the bowl with the other ingredients
5) mix thoroughly, and VOILA!

*note* If you do not have Sunset Gourmet lemony dill, you may substitute with 2 tbsp fresh or dried dill and 1 tbsp lemon juice
