Tzatziki - Greek Cucumber & Yogurt Dip
1 pt
Plain Yogurt
1 Unpeeled cucumber, chopped -fine
1 Clove garlic, crushed
1/3 cup olive oil
Juice of lemon (couple squirts)
1 ts Salt
To the yogurt, add the cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon
juice, and salt. Blend well with fork. Refrigerate. Serve with
pita toast as first course or as a side dish during dinner to
dip your chicken, lamb or just about anything into!
Note:
I like my dip to be a bit thicker so I strain the yogurt for
about a half hour to an hour in a cheese cloth lined seive, as
well as allow cucumbers to drain on paper towels which I
sprinkle with salt first to draw out the liquid. Then I mix
everything together and chill for about one to two hours to
allow flavors to blend better.
But if you want it in a hurry it can be served sooner.
