TZATZIKI (GYRO SAUCE)



Tzatziki (Gyro Sauce) image

I love the sauce that is on a gyro. I wanted to make my own for a greek salad to use as a dressing and found this in a Gourmet magazine. It worked out great. Now I just need to figure out gyros so that I can have it on that. Cooking time is for the chilling it is not necessary but I like mine served cold.

THE PARKER'S GREEK EDITION: TZATZIKI AKA YOGURT AND GYRO SAUCE



The Parker's Greek Edition: Tzatziki Aka Yogurt and Gyro Sauce image

This is a tzatziki recipe of a friend from Kefalonia in Greece. It's so simple- kids can help make it! So next time you see it at Costco, keep walking. Now you have an authentic recipe of your own! This sauce can be used as a mezze (Greek: appetizer) for dipping bread, or with meats, poultry, kefta- ANYTHING! Additionally, one more alternative of this recipe is to ommit the dill and oregano, and add about 1 Tbsp of freshly chopped mint. Very refreshing with The Parker's Tandoori Chicken recipe.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (5 1/3 ounce) Greek yogurt (Whole Foods carries it, as well as most major-chain grocery stores, just ask. As a LAST resort, use)
2/3 cup cucumber
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dill
1/2 teaspoon oregano

Steps:

  • Cut cucumber in half and spoon out the seeds. Take a grater, or shredder (whatever you have) and grate the cucumber. If you don't have either, give it a small dice.
  • Squeeze all the excess water out of the cucumber, using paper towels or dish towels. Srinkle the salt over the cucumber to further dehydrate it.
  • Finally, mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate. Can be made several hours ahead, or even a day.
