Greek Comfort Food

We occasionally go to two restaurants on York Road that make wonderful Greek food. Something that stood out for me was slouvaki, specifically the tzatziki sauce. I love eating it....so I figured, hey why not? So I bought ingredients that I assumed would go in the sauce. Funny thing ....when I was checking out at Wegmans, the guy behind me was also making a tzatziki sauce. I was impressed. 


Either way, this recipe was a hit with the JG. I will be making this again in a few days for Miller & Sarah's wedding extravaganza. (I will also be taking a stab a guacamole for the first time....you'll see a post soon enough about that one. ) This came from AllRecipes.com. 

Tzatziki:

• 2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt
• 2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded and diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled

If I had to do it all over again, I'd put it all together in a food processor. I didn't register for one of those... I would use all of these measurements as guides.... except the plain yogurt.  Everything is to taste. I think I used 4 cloves of garlic and a little bit more dill. It was dried dill. 

Once you put this all together, I would advise you to put it in the fridge to set for a little bit. Justin ate the sauce about 5 days later and thought it was even better. 

I seasoned and grilled chicken to taste. I served the chicken with diced yellow onion and tomato over a whole wheat pita.
