Tzaztiki

Mmmmm. Went great with our chicken gyros and as an appetizer with sliced cucumbers. This would be a great dip for a holiday party. Recipe below was altered from the original to make a half batch of Tzaztiki. I skipped the straining step by starting with the Greek yorgurt base, and made it light by choosing Fage 0% fat free yogurt.

Adapted from elly says opa!

Ingredients
1 17.5 oz container of Fage 0% Greek Yogurt
1 cucumber, peeled and seeded
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 t white wine vinegar
1 T lemon juice
salt and a little pepper

Directions
1. Peel and seed the cucumber. Shred the cucumbers and then squeeze them to get rid of as much excess moisture as possible. I use a towel to do this.

2. Mix together the yogurt, shredded cucumbers, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Salt to taste. It’s best to refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before serving, so flavors can meld.
