Andrea's greek yogurt sauce.. tzatziki
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
Yogurt plain, nonfat- 32 oz containerCucumber (with peel) 1 large or 1 1/2 mediumGarlic minced or pressed, 2 clovesFresh chopped dill 2 TbsLemon juice 1/4 cup Salt, 1 dash Pepper, black, 1 dash Onions, raw, 1 tbsp chopped Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
Line a strainer with a cheese cloth or coffee filters. I use coffee filters. Place strainer in pot or bowl. Empty yogurt into strainer and place in frige for a few hours, allowing water to drain away from yogurt. It is important to do this or you will have watery sauce- yuck.
In the meantime, wash your cucumber, and cut off the ends- split in half lengthwise, and scoop out the watery middle where the seeds are (even seedless cucumbers have this) Grate your cucumber with a metal grater or in the food processor. Place on cheese cloth, or paper towels, and squeeze out as much water as you can. Again, very important- watery sauce- yuck.
Place cucumber in bowl, add strained yogurt, and all other ingredients- mix well, cover, place in frige for 2 hours, and serve with just about anything. Nutrition info is to serve 8.
