Cucumbers are one of the oldest cultivated vegetables and were eaten by ancient Greeks and Romans. Greek cooks don't really cook anything with cucumbers. The are eaten plain with salt, included in the classic Greek salad and blended into dips such as the following tzatziki, a garlicky yogurt-cucumber dip. This dip only takes about 20 minutes to prepare, but must sit for at least an hour for the flavors to marry. Ingredients:

4 teaspoons olive oil |
3 tablespoons white vinegar |
3 garlic cloves, finely minced |
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
