Tzatziki Sauce

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Rest time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes
Yield: 1 bowl of delicious tzatziki
Ingredients:

• 17 ounces plain Greek yogurt (or any strained yogurt)
• 1 cucumber peeled and grated (I find English cucumbers to be the best)
• 3 tablespoons of Greek olive oil
• 1 lemon, juice
• 1-2 teaspoon salt, to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1-2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, to taste
• 2 cloves pressed garlic
  Preparation:
  1. Put the Greek yogurt into a bowl, something big enough to mix in all ingredients.
  2. Take peeled cucumber and grate on a plate.*Important: squeeze out all juices from cucumber BEFORE adding it to the yogurt. Tzatziki is thick, and adding the juices from the cucumber will make is watery.
  3. Add olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper, dill, red wine vinegar, and garlic to cucumber-yogurt mixture.
  4. Mix thoroughly
  5. Let it rest. Place in refrigerator for a minimum of 2-4hrs. Preferably, overnight.
  6. Serve alongside bread, meat, veggies, or whatever you like!

GREAT ON LAMB GYROS , of course.
