Simple Tzatziki

Here's a nice little sauce to go with your skewered foodstuffs. I personally don't like cucumbers, but I feel like I'm in the minority here. 
1. Start with 2 cucumbers. Peel them.
2. Now, grate them. 
3. Salt them and leave them in a colander to dry for about half an hour. 
4. Do something fun for a half hour. Like putting meat on a stick and squeezing lemons over them. Watch DS9 on Netflix while you do it. It holds up pretty well 
5. When the cukes are dry-ish combine them with two minced cloves of garlic, 2 cups of plain yogurt (or Greek, if you are fancy), and just under a tablespoon of dried mint. (If you have some fresh mint, throw in a tablespoon.) 
6. Chill for a half hour before serving.
