Cucumber Sauce Recipes

This fresh and tangy cucumber dill sauce uses non-fat plain yogurt to give it a creamy taste and texture. It can be eaten as a side dish with grilled chicken or as a topping on a gyro or pita sandwich!!

Refreshing and wonderfully tasty.

A tasty sauce that makes a great topping for fish!

Cucumbers were thought to originate over 10,000 years ago in southern Asia. Early explorers and travelers introduced this vegetable to India and other parts of Asia. It was very popular in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome, whose people used it not only as a food but also for its beneficial skin healing properties. The early colonists introduced cucumbers to the United States.

Cucumbers are scientifically known as Cucumis sativus and belong to the same family as watermelon, zucchini, pumpkin, and other types of squash.

This is that incredible yogurt sauce often paired with gyros, I use as a condiment to Greek Turkey Burgers (try Chef Meg's) and even as a dip for veggies.

This is from The Mediterranean Diet by Nancy Harmon Jenkins. I modified it a bit because I have a lot of fresh mint (she uses dried) and I wanted a bit less oil. This makes about 2 cups.
