Tzatziki sauce

Tzatziki sauce pairs well with anything on naan or pita bread. Specifically, the lamb or beef gyros.

Ingredients

• Medium-sized cucumber

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 2 tsp olive oil

• Juice of half a lemon

• 1 clove of garlic, minced

• 2-4 Tbsp of dill, fresh or dry

• ¼ tsp of ground black pepper

• Optional: 1-2 tsp of fresh parsley and/or chives

Directions

1. Peel your cucumber, and then either dice it into small pieces or grate it. Either works; just do whichever is your texture preference.

2. Sprinkle your cucumber with the salt and let it sit, preferably for at least 5 minutes. This will allow the cucumber to absorb the flavor, and let off some of its water, which you can drain off before adding to the rest of the sauce to reduce water and separation as the sauce sits.

3. Mix the rest of the ingredients, adjusting herbs and spices to taste.

4. Add the cucumber after draining off any extra liquid.
