This recipe is like a crazy version of the old fashioned “cucumbers and sour cream” with a Greek tzadziki flair. We absolutely love this in the summertime, as it’s a very cool, refreshing side dish. It’s a fantastic complement to zesty or spicy meats or legumes. We love it best with a really flavorful barbecue-grilled steak and corn on the cob. Just try it once—I guarantee you’ll fall in love with it!
In a medium-sized glass mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, yogurt, minced garlic, salt, sugar, pepper and white vinegar. Mix well. Then add the mint, crushing it between your fingertips as you sprinkle it in the bowl, allowing the oils to release and making the mint more potent. Then add the cucumber and onion, mixing well. Taste, and add more salt if you think necessary. Don’t be afraid of the salt (unless you have high blood pressure or heart problems)—it really brings out the flavor of the yogurt and garlic. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and chill for at least one hour before serving.
