Tzatziki Sauce

This is another easy condiment to make yourself. I think it has many other variations (yogurt sauce, cucumber sauce, etc.) And it's light and refreshing. I, of course, served it with chicken kabobs, but not before I was dipping carrots in it while cooking!



Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): 0
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 1
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 1
Servings: 10-12

Tzatziki Sauce
8 oz plain yogurt
2 Tbl olive oil
1 Tbl lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbl fresh dill, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, pressed

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and blend well. Voila!

Notes:
- I didn't have 8 oz of yogurt on hand, I only had one of those individual yogurt servings, which is 6 ounces, so I used that and just didn't quite add the full amount of everything else, and it was delicious.
- If you don't have a garlic press, simply mince garlic fine, then sprinkle with a little salt, and using the flat portion of your knife, grind and smear the the garlic into a paste on your cutting board. Works just as good.
