Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups plain yogurt -- regular or low-fat yogurt
1 cup grated cucumber -- peeled, seeded
1 avocado -- diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped mint

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Stir in cucumber, avocado, and
mint. Cover and chill 1 hour or overnight.

Makes 3 1/2 cups (7 one-half cup servings)

ChupaNote: this was wonderful over grilled vegetables. Increasing the
fresh minced mint to 1/4 cup, I only used 1/4 cup olive oil (and maybe a
tablespoon or so more poured over the finished dip). I also sprinkled a
generous teaspoon of Aleppo red pepper on top of the olive oil, on the
finished dip. Next time, I may just put everything in the food processor
and pulse a few times.
