1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber
1 cup thick whole milk Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 grated garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, optional

ChefSecret:  Add a little more texture and flavor by grilling the assembled wrap in the same frying pan with a touch of melted butter.
