Preparation:
- Peel and dice cucumber into 1/8-1/4 inch pieces (remove seeds first if desired).
- Slice green onion into thin rings.
- Combine cucumber, green onion, lemon juice, dill, and pepper with yogurt and stir to incorporate.
- Add more lemon juice, green onions, dill, and pepper to taste; this recipe is easily adapted.

- For a smoother sauce, grate peeled cucumber and chop green onion into very small pieces (may need to use less onion). Use plain soy yogurt for a vegan sauce.

I'm a self (and mother) taught cook. I have worked in many restaurants as a cook. I have a 16 year old daughter. I am in love with food....and my partner (hubbs)! My dream is to open up a restaurant that donates meals and a percentage of proceeds to homeless and hungry individuals and families!
