Tzatziki - Greek cucumber yogurt sauce

This is a pretty common sauce, but since I'm making Falafel for Meatless Monday, it's a requirement.


Ingredients:
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced finely
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 cup greek yogurt, strained
1 cup sour cream
1-2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced

Directions:

Peel, seed and dice the cucumber. A super easy way top seed a cucumber is to use a spoon and scrap the softer pulp from the middle.

Combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.

Using a whisk, blend the yogurt with the sour cream.

Add the olive oil mixture to the yogurt mixture and mix well.

Finally, add the cucumber.

Until next time, Eat Well and Keep Digging.
