bolani garlic mint cheese

I had some leftover greek yogurt at home and made a dip that tasted really close to the Bolani garlic mint cheese that I love from the farmers' market:

I used greek yogurt and added:
- crushed dried mint (what i use for tea normally)
- lemon juice
- 1 clove of raw garlic crushed in garlic press
- salt
- chives (optional, I just had them out)

I didn't measure anything- but here's a real recipe: http://www.chow.com/recipes/27613-garlic-mint-yogurt-spread
