Tahini Yogurt Dip/Sauce



What you'll need:

1 cup plain greek yogurt (I used Fage, my favorite)
1/2 cup diced cucumber (preferably seedless, 1/2 cup is about 1/2 a normal size cucumber)
1 tsp dried minced onion (you can also use fresh onion, finely diced)
2 tsp dill
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt and/or pepper to taste

What you'll do:

So simple!  All you need to do is dice the cucumber finely (I used my handy, dandy Ninja) and mix all the ingredients together.  I love Lebanese cuisine, and I go crazy for this sauce every time I eat it.  It doesn't compare much to Aladdin's, but it's such a quick and simple recipe.  Once again, it was one of those things I came up with while rummaging in my "Mother Hubbard's Cupboard" (as I sometimes like to call it) for something to snack on one night.  It's great with the new Dill Trisuits or pita for dipping.  I'm going to make chicken gyros sometime soon with it, I'm sure it would be delish.
