- 1 scallion, chopped up finely
- 1 clove garlic, chopped finely

directions
- Put cucumbers in a bowl or colander and sprinkle with salt and toss; let stand for about 15-30 minutes

- Add cucumber, scallion, garlic, lemon, jalapeno pepper to yogurt mixture. Use a motorized hand blender to chop the cucumber finer and leaving some small chunks; not to fine though. (A Braun hand mixer-chopper works well for blending the yogurt in step #2 and this step #3
