JERSEY DINER TZATZIKI SAUCE



Jersey Diner Tzatziki Sauce image

My mouth remembers after-school trips to the Greek diner down the street for Gyros. It's one of the fondest memories I have of my old hometown in Northern NJ. I've been looking for a good tzatziki recipe for a long, long time. Here's what I've come up with, adjusted from other's. Cooking time does not include chilling or draining time.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 cucumber, seeded but not peeled
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Line a small colander with a damp paper towel. and place in a small bowl. Place the yogurt over this and allow to drain in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until it has become thick like sour cream.
  • Grate the cucumber and place in a second colander. Salt lightly and press with hands or the bottom of a bowl to remove excess water.
  • Mix all ingredients. Cover and place in fridge for about 30 minutes (garlic flavor will intensify with time).
  • Serve with fresh veggies, falafel, or gyros. Yum!
