Tzatziki Sauce OR Cool Cucumber Soup

Fig and Rose Tzatziki Sauce Cool Cucumber Soup

This is a delicious sauce to put on anything - fish, meat, and anything Mediterranean.  It works really well on falafel...mmm.  But this time, I put it on the Salmon Croquettes.

This recipe makes for a lot of it - so I halved it below.  But it's so light that it also would make for a delicious cold cucumber soup too, if you wanted more.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 Cucumber, chopped
1.5 tbsp. Lemon Juice
1 tbsp. Salt
2 tbsp. Dill


The two cartons of Greek Yogurt pictured above were what I originally added, which made way too much.

1. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds with a spoon if necessary.  Try to get the less juicy cucumbers, and you can skip this step.  Chop coarsely.

2. Place cucumber in a colander and sprinkle liberally with salt.  Let sit for 30 minutes to draw water out.


3. Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.  Refrigerate for 2 hours in order for flavors to settle and blend.





And there you go.
