Tzatziki is the lovely and refreshing cucumber and yogurt sauce you find on top of gyros sandwiches. It's also great as a dip with pita bread and veggies.
2 cups plain, non-fat yogurt
1 large garlic clove, mashed to a paste with ½ tsp salt
2 medium cucumbers, grated and drained
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt, to taste
Use a small plate to "paste" the garlic and salt with a fork. Combine all ingredients and chill for at least an hour before wowing everyone with your delicious tzatziki.
