My favorite food in the world, is Greek! I love my southern fried tradition, I love my crazy cajun spice, but Greek....Greek is a way of life and taste of life, I wish I had every day! Maybe if I was Greek, I would get tired of it, but not being Greek, I love it! On Monday I gave you the recipe for my favorite Greek dish, spanakopita. For me, you cannot have spanakopita without tzatziki. Tzatziki is a great dip/sauce that I think is good on almost anything, except maybe chocolate chip cookies (I once got caught having to eat Tabasco sauce on cookies because I said it was good on anything). I love it on just plain pita, spanakopita, chicken, fish, beef, veggies. It is just plain good! So, make you up a batch and experiment! Some of the great meals come from experimenting!
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt -- some use Greek, normal US is OK as well
- 2 cucumbers - seeded and diced -- I like the peeling so I leave it on, but some people like it better without the peeling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped.
In a large bowl, combine, well everything! Stir until well blended. Cover and refrigerate overnight flavor. OK, so I always have to have a little right away and in a couple more hours, and a few after that....it is good right away, but only gets better with time!!!
