Directions

1. Combine lemon juice, finely chopped garlic, olive oil, celery seed, dill weed, dill seed, peppermint, nettle, black pepper (optional), garlic powder (optional) in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly. Let marinate for approximately 30 minutes. In the meantime, peel, deseed (if needed) and dice cucumber (s). Put cucumbers in drainer or collander over a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt, Let drain approximately 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, add cucumbers to marinade mixture and mix thoroughly. Fold greek yogurt into the mixture and again, thoroughly mix together. Best to put this in the refrigerator overnight to bring out the best of each herb and flavor. However, if you are in a hurry for a dip, this can also be made up and served chilled immediately. This can be used as a dip for vegetables or it can be served as a side “dip” for fish. I love serving it with tuna or salmon. Yummy!!! Either way….ENJOY!
