| 1 | each | Garlic clove, minced |
| 2 | tablespoons | Scallion, finely-diced |

Directions
* Original "cartoon" strip calls for "¼ hothouse cucumber" (and if you think it's easy translating a cartoon strip into a MealMaster recipe...)
Drain grated cucumber for 5 minutes in a sieve or strainer. In a medium bowl, combine cucumber with garlic, scallions and oregano.
Stir in sour cream. Season with cumin and lemon juice. Add feta cheese and salt.
Refrigerate 2 hours.
Serve as a dip for kabobs or as a topping for baked potatoes.
Iris' note: This can be made low-fat (and more like the Greek original) by substituting thick non-fat yogurt for the sour cream.
