Tzatzaki Sauce is a versatile Greek sauce that can be served as a sauce, a dip, or a flavorful salad dressing. This is usually served over Souvlaki salad or kabab. but no matter how it's served, it's delicious.
Ingredients:
4 cups plain yogurt, regular no diet type
3 large cucumbers, peeled and seeded
salt
3 garlic cloves, mashed and diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
dash of ground pepper black
1 tablespoon freshly minced mint leaf (optional) (try in a small portion to see if you like it)
Directions:
Shred cucumber in food processor or by hand. Place in a colander over a bowl, sprinkle with salt and let stand for about one hour. This will help to drain the excess juices from cucumber. Rinse quickly to remove salt, then pat dry on a clean towel. Meanwhile, mince your garlic either by hand or by small mixer. In a large bowl, place your yogurt, garlic, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil and pepper into a bowl. Mix well with a hand held mixer. Refrigerate for 1 day before serving to allow flavors to marry one another. Be sure to stir the mixture once again before serving. If you're in a hurry, you can serve within 1 hour after making, but the best flavor will be after 1 day in fridge. Enjoy!
