Cucumber Sauce

 

I love a good gyro, chicken or beef shawarma or any type of Mediterranean dish that calls for a creamy cucumber sauce. I just love this sauce. It not only elevates these dishes, but the rich flavors complement the spices perfectly and enhance every bite. For an authentic experience, try pairing it with a homemade gyro recipe that will impress your guests!

Ingredients

1 Cup plain yogurt

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 Cup cucumber, grated or finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon dill weed

1/2 lemon, juiced

1 clove fresh garlic, minced

Instructions:

Peel and deseed the cucumber and chop or grate into fine pieces. A cheese grater is helpful for this step.

Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Serve and enjoy!
