tzatziki

[Guest guest]

In Greek: t?at????, pronounced dza-DZEE-kee

 

Tzatziki is traditionally served as an appetizer and can be left on the

table as an accompaniment to foods throughout the meal. The key to great

tzatziki

is the thick creamy texture that allows it to be eaten alone, as a dip, as a

spread, and as a condiment.

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

16 ounces (2 cups) of strained yogurt

4 to 10 cloves of garlic, diced

1/2 cup of peeled, diced or shredded cucumber

1 tablespoon of olive oil

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

 

PREPARATION:

 

Prepare all ingredients in advance. Combine oil and lemon juice in a medium

mixing bowl. Fold the yogurt in slowly, making sure it mixes completely with

the oil. Add the garlic, according to taste, and the cucumber.
