It's tzatziki. It's usually made with drained yogurt, but I have had
variations of it made with yogurt and sour cream, which gives it a
little more substance. It is also important to drain the grated
cucumber because the water in the cucumber will be extracted from it and
make the sauce watery. Here is one of many recipes available thanks to
Goggle:
TZATZIKI (Greek Cucumber Sauce)

2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
1 large English cucumber
2 cloves garlic
pinch fresh mint (finely chopped)
cheesecloth

Line two seives with cheesecloth. Peel & finely chop the English
cucumber.
(could use a food processor) Squeeze out the fluid with your hands &
place
in one of the cheesecloth-lined seives to drain completely. Place the
yogurt in the other cheesecloth-lined seive & drain for 2 to 4 hours.
Combine drained yogurt, cucumber, crushed garlic & mint. Mix well.
Refrigerate for 1 hour prior to serving.
