Tzatziki Sauce

  • 8 ounces plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 3 cloves pressed garlic
  • 1/2 cucumber, shredded.

In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill, cucumber and garlic. Blend thoroughly and serve.

NOTE: I could use this as a dressing, as sauce for everything.  I just can’t begin to express how much I love this stuff.  If I use it as a dressing I’ll skip the cucumber, but even the dill, lemon, garlic, yogurt combo…. omgoodness.
