Ingredients:


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 / Directions:


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.
