Oh so refreshing.. Lemon juice works really well in this recipe adding extra zest.
I serve it with chicken, especially with fried chicken it lightens up the dinner. The sauce is actually really good with any fried recipe like fried cauliflowers, fried zucchini etc.
Using mint versus dill makes a tremendous difference. Both of these herbs are powerful especially when they're fresh. I prefer dill when I serve the sauce with zucchini. Mint with any recipe especially in the summer.

I found some Armenian Cucumbers at my local ethnic market, they taste slightly bitter cucumbers but have plenty more crunchiness. Try it if you can find some. They are pale green with deep grooves and they're about 8 inches long like English cucumbers but thinner.
