Cucumber-Mint Dip
This is a pretty straight-up and standard dip/sauce for most Middle-Eastern fare. It’s kinda like a tzatziki, but the mint gives it a nice twist. I made it the other night for some kabobs, but it would go with pretty much any seasoned meat from the area. Potato chips? Maybe. Enquiring minds want to know.
