Today we have the Cucumber and Yogurt Dip {Tzatziki} that I used with the Lamb and Vegetable Kabobs. This is the same sauce that you would use with gyros. Oh what I wouldn’t do for a good gyro! Iowa is not exactly known for it’s foreign cuisine. We had a Greek restaurant here in town called “The Greek Place”, but it closed last year…..

Place yogurt, garlic, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil and chopped dill in a bowl. Mix to combine and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Sprinkle with additional dill to garnish and serve with pita bread

It was so simple to make. Because I used “real” Greek yogurt, it is also virtually lactose free…..so I can eat it! Here it is on pita bread with the Lamb and Vegetable Kabobs and a side of Tomato Pilaf…..
