Course Side Dish
Cuisine European
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 Cups worth

Ingredients

  • 1 C Yogurt Try to find a Thick Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 Long English Cucumber Halved and Seeded
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 C Fresh Mint Finely Chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Dill Finely Chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  •       Start off by cutting the Cucumber in half and then cutting in half again lengthwise. Grab a spoon from the cutlery drawer, stand over your food recycling bin or garbage and scrap the seeds out. You don't need to dig in very hard to scrape the seeds.
  •       Grab a mixing bowl and a grater and grate the Cucumber into the bowl.
  •       Grab a handful of Mint that looks like a quarter cups worth and a couple tablespoons worth of Dill. Put them together on the cutting board and chop away until they become finely chopped. Add them to the mixing bowl.
  •       Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl, the Ground Cumin & Coriander, Lemon Juice and season to taste with Salt and Pepper. I Usually add a couple pinches of Salt and one pinch of Pepper.
  •       This Dip goes great with Moroccan Meatballs but also elevates simple Sautéed Broccolini. If you find anything else you love to put it on I would love to hear from you. Cheers

Notes

Beside being light and Minty fresh it is also Gluten Free and Vegetarian Friendly.
