Maast-O Khiar (Or, Less Pretentiously, Cucumber Yogurt)

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 small seedless cucumber (peeled)
• 1/4 white onion
• 1 clove garlic (or two if you so choose)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp finely chopped mint

Directions

Grate or dice cucumber, onion, and garlic (depending on your preference). Mix everything together. Chill.

Notes

I like to grate my vegetables; this results in a bit of a different texture as the water and pulp from the grated vegetables mixes with the Yogurt. If you dice the vegetables instead the texture is a bit more yogurty, and you need to refrigerate it for a bit longer before eating. Make it both ways and see; it only takes ten minutes to throw together a batch.

A good yogurt with cream makes for a very nice base texture.
