Tzatziki Recipe (Greek dip/sauce made with yogurt)

[Guest guest]

Hello

My cousin asked me to make this with my SCD yogurt and I'm so glad she

did. It's that typical sauce you get in a Greek Gyro sandwich but it

can probably be used in so many different ways. For me it was

refreshing to have something yogurt-based that was not sweet, thought

sweet's nice too.

TZATZIKI

32 ounces SCD yogurt

1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and grated

1 tsp salt

1 clove pressed garlic

1 tbsp fresh mint (or a dash of dried)

1/2 lemon

Drain yogurt for at least 8 hours until it's very thick.

Sprinkle salt over grated cucumber and drain through a strainer into a

bowl for at least 1/2 hour. Press remaining water out with a paper

towel when done.

Mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, mint, and lemon together in a bowl and

refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note: I'm not ready for raw foods yet so I made the above recipe for

my family and set aside a version for myself which included only the

yogurt, garlic juice, lemon juice, salt, and **get this** some of the

cucumber water for flavor. It was all of the taste without the

digestive challenges.

I made ground beef gyros and used this as a topping (mine of course

was sans pita bread).

YUM!
