Tzatziki for everyone!

Okay Bis, here it is lol

1 yogurt container of strained whole fat, plain yogurt. Do not use sour cream ever! (Many restaurants use sour cream because it is cheaper than buying strained yogurt and less time consuming than straining it themselves. But to serve, a trainned connoisseur of Greek food, Tzatziki made of sour cream is a almost a major insult lol).

1 medium cucumber diced

1 head of Garlic, and or 1/4 tsp onion powder (I never use the onion powder)

1 lemon

1 shake of salt from the salt shaker

Clean the Garlic of its natural covering, and dice the cloves. Peal the cucumber and dice it also. Squeeze the lemon to extract the juice.

Take the diced garlic and diced cloves, lemon juice (and the onion powder if you like) and add all of it to the strained yogurt in a large bowl. Mix carefully and then put it in the fridge to for the ingredients to fully permeate the strained yogurt.

Makes enough for 2 people and if one is serving for more than 2 people-- then double or triple etc the recipe accordingly. It is an excellent addition with the meal on Christmas day or for Pascha and the Paschal Bright week, traditionally Tzatziki is not a dip but rather it is a side dish (when it is made properly it is almost too thick to be used as a dip).
