Cucumber Yogurt Dip

I am a junk food junkie, but from time to time I need to eat healthy, so here is a great way to eat veggies with this refreshing cucumber yogurt dip.  Serve with any of your favourite veggies and sliced baguette or pita bread.  Oh and by the way no double dipping please :-)

Ingredients:
-250 grams of plain yogurt (2 small containers)
-1/2 cucumber
-1 teaspoon salt
-Juice of 1 lemon
-2 minced garlic clove

Instructions:
-Peel and grate the cucumber.  Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 15 minutes to draw out the excess moisture.
-In a bowl, combine and mix the yogurt, lemon juice and minced garlic.
-With your hands, squeeze the water out of the grated cucumber.
-Add cucumber to the yogurt mixture and mix well.
