Tzatziki Sauce

This is great with slouvaki, falafel, or even just sliced roast beef in pitas. It's also good with corn chips for a snack.

For a simple dinner sprinkle chicken with Greek Seasoning and pan sear, serve with tzatziki sauce and a side of Mediterranean seasoned orzo or quinoa. I like it on sunny side up eggs for breakfast.

I also like to serve it on a "Veggie Delight Platter" similar to what the local cafe serves. Arrange pita wedges, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions rings, alfalfa sprouts, kalamata olives, tzatziki sauce and hummus on a platter. This makes nice light and tasty party food.

For a simple lunch throw all the things from the platter idea into a tortilla for a simple wrap.

1 c. greek yogurt, plain yogurt or sour cream

1 tsp. lemon juice

Dash Tabasco

1 tsp dried dill

3 cloves garlic, miced

1/2 large cucumber

Salt to taste

Peel the cucumber and cut into quarters lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and grate the cucumber. 

Stir everything together and taste, adding more dill or garlic, etc. depending on your tastes. Go really easy on the seasonings at first, they tend to "develop" as they sit. So let it sit for a couple hours and then see if it still needs more spices.
