Tzatziki

God I love tzatziki (I love it so much that once it's in my bowl, and this is the truth, I will totally lick the bowl / drink the last few drops, before washing the bowl ... hahaha).  At any rate, I made a bowl of it today, and though I accidentally used my folks "fine" zester for the cucumber (which made it a bit soupier than I meant) it was/is true DELICIOUSNESS!!

I also bought a package of small pitas to go with it, and tried my hand at making "toasted pita" bites.  I put a bit of oil in a frying pan - with some Penzy's "sandwich sprinkle" - and "toasted" them for a few minutes on each side, then I sliced them into bite size pieces to dip and munch.

Yummo!

It is a very easy dip to make.  (I may have put this recipe on here before ...)

Ingredients:
1 English Cucumber
1 Lemon
Fresh Dill
2-3 Cloves Garlic
Plain Greek Yogurt (I use Fage)
Black Pepper - optional

How to make it:
Pour yogurt into a medium sized bowl.  Peel and grate the cucumber into the bowl.  Add the juice of 1 lemon (and some zest too, if you'd like).  Peel and chop the garlic, add to the bowl. Wash and snip a fair amount of fresh dill into the bowl.  Add a bit of freshly grated pepper.  Mix ... and viola!

*This is a "recipe" that a Greek friend of mine gave me.

I recently saw a recipe that says to add fresh spearmint, which I think I'll try net time
