"You got it backwards, Dill," said Jem. "Clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them."

Ingredients

8 oz. container of Greek style yogurt

1/2 TBL extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

3 large cloves of garlic, minced

juice of half a lemon

1/2 cup grated cucumber

1 tsp fresh dill

Mix all ingredients together

Tips

  • I used a micro-plane/rasp to mince the garlic.
  • It is very important to wring out all of the water from the cucumber, and then wring it out again.  And again.  Cucumber has a high water content and you do not want it diluting the taste of your tzatziki.
  • It is best if let to settle in the fridge for at least a few hours – even make it a day ahead.
  • Greek style yogurt can now be found in most supermarkets.  Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods also carry various brands.
