Recipe Note

Drain some low-fat yogurt overnight to make this yummy cucumber dressing. This is a delicious topping for grilled chicken or meat. It's also a great dip for veggies and pita chips. Added another clove of garlic (werewolves in Florida). Eliminated the parsley and go a little bit heavier on the fresh dill.
