Here's a Tzatziki Sauce recipe we make all the time. Great as a dip, or spread on sandwiches, or burgers or pita's.
2 Cloves Crushed Garlic
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup of Lemon Juice
2 Grated Cucumbers, Remove seeds first (about a cup after it's strained)
2 Cups of Plain Unsweetened Yogurt or Sour Cream (I usually use one of each, depending on what's in the fridge of course. I prefer it with at least one cup of yogurt.)
Salt and Pepper to taste.
The trick for this recipe is to put your shredded cucumber in a strainer and drain most of the water. Usually takes an hour or so, and at the end I kinda help it along by pressing with a spoon against the strainer. If you don't do this your tzatziki will be very watery. So once this is done, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and voila. It can be served right away, but it is 10 times better if you let it sit in the fridge over night.
