Ingredients:  
32 ounces plain yogurt
2 cucumber (regular, peeled and seeded)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
1/2 teaspoon dill weed, dried
to taste salt
to taste black pepper
to taste olive oil (drizzle, extra virgin)
Directions:
Directions:
Strain yogurt using a cheesecloth over a boil (if you don't have that, a strainer lined with a coffee filter will work) for a couple of hours (I let mine strain for about 6 hours) or overnight to get out as much moisture as possible (I know this step sounds funny, but I promise that if you don't do it, your sauce will be runny and not as delicious). Shred or grate the cucumbers and blot them with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to get rid of as much moisture as possible. Mix together the strained yogurt, shredded cucumbers, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep in the fridge until serving (let the flavors come together for about 30 minutes before serving). If you want, drizzle a little olive oil over the top before serving.
