Re Tzatziki Sauce

[Guest guest]

Your recipe brought back wonderful memories of my many years living in

Winston-Salem, NC.  While one wouldn't expect it, there is a large ethnic Greek

population there, and, in fact, a large percentage of the restaurants are owned

by people of Greek descent.  It definitely makes for some interesting menus when

one will see gyros offered along with grits and collard greens.

 

Anyway, your recipe is very similar to one I talked one of the cooks at my

favorite local restaurant there to give me.  In addition to just being a

wonderful dip, it's a very healthy condiment on just about any type of

sandwich.  I make veggie gyros and use tsatziki sauce on them. 

 

Also, there are places where you can order fat free greek yogurt.  I have found

that while you can make this using regular yogurt, it tastes a lot more

authentic using Greek yogurt.  The reason it tastes so good is that it's got a

high fat and sugar content.  The low-fat version tastes just as good (somehow),

but is much lower in calories.

 

Thanks for jogging my memory.....I'm thinking of running to the store right now

to get the yogurt.
