TzaTziki Sauce

I bought plain Greek yogurt the other day, to the dismay of my wife. I wasn’t sure she would eat it, but then I got an email from Garbonzo’s, which got me thinking. I could use the yogurt. So I grabbed a few things last night, and then looked up some recipes for Tzatziki sauce and kind of followed them, kind of went my own way.

Ingredients

• 16oz plain greek yogurt
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wind vinegar
• 2 cucumbers
• pinch kosher salt
• dash lemon juice
• sprinkle pepper

Making the sauce

The first thing to do is to seed a cucumber. I’d never done this, and had to look it up. I peeled a cucumber.

Then I sliced them long-ways, and could see the seeds inside.

A little spoon action to pull the seeds out towards me

And I have a seeded 1/2 cucumber. I repeated this for both cucumbers and then diced up the rest.

All the ingredients, including the minced fresh garlic, went into the blender.

Medium speed and then I had a sauce. I poured it into a container, and I’ll use it later.

My plans are to take come of the leftover shredded chicken, add hummus, calmata olives, lettuce, and the tzatziki sauce in a pita and enjoy.

Meanwhile I have a beef roast in the crock pot cooking for French Dip sandwiches for Delaney.
