Tzatziki

5.3 oz. Greek yogurt (plain) 2.5 oz. cucumber, peeled, seeded, and minced (1/2 cucumber) 1 tbsp. olive oil juice of half a lemon 2 cloves of garlic, pressed salt and pepper

Finely mince the cucumbers, salt lightly, and allow to drain in a sieve for several minutes.

The recipe can be made with regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt, however you would have to put regular yogurt in a sieve and let it drain for a half hour to get rid of excess water. You don't have to do that with the Greek yogurt.

Mix together the ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste.

I used this sauce in my Rosemary lamb pita.

And in case you can't pronounce tzatziki, here's a tip from itmademyday.com : "At work we have a new employee. She's new to Canada and can't pronounce "tzatiki" so instead she asks "Would you like some sneaky sauce?" IMMD."
