I continue to have fun with recipes from my cookbook, Greek Culinary, that was gifted from my daughter and granddaughter after they returned from their trip to Greece.
Recently, I prepared a simple tray of goodies for our lunch featuring a recipe for Tzatziki which is a dip/sauce made with yogurt and garlic along with a few other ingredients.
I paired that with some sliced salami, feta cheese, dill and onion flavored cheese, grapes, pitas, seeded crackers, and purchased lemon flavored hummus. It was a great lunch!
If you haven't tried Sabra Lemon Twist Hummus and you're a lemon lover like me, pick up some and give it a taste. I topped with a little extra lemon zest to up that lemon flavor!
Now on to the tzatziki!
16 oz. strained Greek yogurt
1 cucumber
3 garlic cloves finely grated
3 T. vinegar
3 T. olive oil
salt, pepper
Peel, grate, and drain the cucumber very well. Sprinkle it with salt and vinegar and leave to strain out. Put the cucumber in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Mix them well. Leave the tzatziki in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
Serve with pita chips or fill a pita with salami and drizzle with the sauce.
