I love cucumbers. The smell and taste of them makes me think of summer. I enjoy eating them raw, but also in salads and on sandwiches. I'd never had Tzatziki sauce before (to my knowledge), but I knew I would enjoy it because of the cucumber. Tzatziki can be used as a sauce on gyros, as an accompaniment to meat, or as a dip for pitas or fresh vegetables. It has so many possibilities and it's so delicious!
As promised on Monday, this is the sauce I used for our flatbreads. I'll be sharing the rest of the filling on Friday. Patience my friends...
Tzatziki Sauce
Makes 1 cup
You will need:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 of a large cucumber
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced to a smooth paste
1. Scoop yogurt into a small bowl and mix until smooth.
2. Peel cucumber and grate it into fine pieces. Place in cheesecloth and squeeze to remove the water.
3. Add the cucumber, salt, olive oil, and minced garlic to the yogurt and mix well.
4. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
