Persian Yogurt Dip (Must-o-Khiar)

Ingredients:

(4-6 servings)

One pound plain low-fat yogurt

3 Persian or salad cucumbers

(Avoid big, fat seeded cucumbers)

One table spoon of dried mint leaves crushed

Half table spoon salt

1 tea spoon of black peppers

How to make it:

If you want this dip to be creamy and thick, drain some of the water from the yogurt by putting the yogurt in a cheese-cloth or thick non breakable paper towel (Bounty brand does well)

Grade the cucumbers or chop the super fine & add to the yougurt

Add mint flakes, salt & pepper and fold with a big spoon gently 

(Do not beat or whisk because the yogurt will loose its texture & creaminess)

Serve with hard kettle cooked potato chips, or pita chips or white tortilla

Great with wine or Scotch whiskey 

Enjoy!
