Tzaziki Sauce Here is a recipe I use for tzaziki sauce. Hope this helps
Ingredients:
1 pint plain yogurt
1 large cucumber (English type if possible), peeled and seeded
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Drain the yogurt overnight in the refrigerator in a strainer that has been lined with cheesecloth. Chop cucumber finely and let drain on paper towels. To drained yogurt, add cucumber, garlic, oil and vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Use as a topping over meat filling as in a ""gyro"". Also a good dip with raw vegetables or crackers. (I find this tart enough without the vinegar. May also add finely chopped onion, green onion or chives. Also good with toasted pita bread.
I also use this sauce for "speedies" (its a NY thing) When I see folks dipping pita chips, veggies etc in the sauce that tells me its a keeper! Best of luck on your quest for fresh made flavors.
