  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2             pounds  cucumbers - peeled -- seeded and sliced
     3/4           cup  mint leaves -- loosely packed
  3             cloves  garlic -- peeled
  1 1/4           cups  cold water
  1 1/2           cups  regular or nonfat yogurt
  1         tablespoon  virgin olive oil
  2        tablespoons  cider vinegar
  1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
  10             drops  tabasco hot pepper sauce

Preparation:

Place the cucumber slices in the bowl of a food processor with the mint, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the cold water. Process until pureed; the mixture will be granular. (For a smoother-texture mixture, puree in a conventional blender or with a handheld immersion blender.) Transfer the puree to a bowl, and mix in the yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, salt, Tabasco, and remaining 3/4 cup of water. Chill. Stir before serving.
