 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2  cups          Strained yogurt
    2      medium        Cucumbers
    4      large         Garlic cloves (or more)
    4      tablespoons   Olive oil
                         A little vinegar
                         Salt
 
 Grate the (peeled) cucumber or chop finely.  Salt it, and squeeze out and
 discard the liquid.  Add to it the peeled (minced or grated) minced garlic,
 the vinegar, yogurt and stir the mixture.  Finally, add the oil. If you
 want, sprinkle with paprika and garnish with olives.
 
  Variation: You can add more garlic, if you want a spicier tzatziki, or you
 may add to the mixture almonds or hazelnuts which have been blanched and
 skinned.
