There really wasn't much need to lighten this, since Tzatziki is a relatively light food, but I did it anyway thinking "every little bit helps", and the results were so tasty I just had to share!! Besides, I had the ingredients on hand, and it was simple enough… why run to the store to buy something I can make!!
Ingredients:
1 cup Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1/2 medium Cucumber
2 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp chopped Fresh Dill
Salt & Pepper to taste
Peel & seed the Cucumber, discard peel & seeds, chop remaining meat very fine. Peel and crush/press the Garlic. Mix all ingredients together, I used a pint-sized sealable container, refrigerate for at least a couple hours before using (allows the spice flavors to develop). This makes about 3/4 of a pint, more than Jeff & I used in one meal, but not so much that it won't get used up before it "expires".
Last night we cooked up some Lamb Sausages we'd picked up at a local Eastern European deli (Kramarczuk's in Minneapolis), and put the sausages on warmed Pita with some of this Tzatziki sauce… Major Yum Factor!!
