Cool, crisp, and done in ten minutes flat. Thick cucumber rounds hold up a dollop of herbed yogurt far better than a cracker would, and the whole thing stays light enough to serve before a bigger meal without filling anyone up. Radish on top adds a little snap of color and a peppery bite.

- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
- Stir yogurt, dill, lemon zest, garlic, and a pinch of salt together in a bowl.
