EASY GREEK YOGURT CUCUMBER SAUCE

This concoction is a result of my experimental efforts in trying to copy a favorite Greek restaurant's tzatziki sauce. Serve with gyros, pita bread, chips, or raw veggies.

CUCUMBER SAUCE FOR GYROS

I tried different sauces but didn't find the taste I was looking for so I threw some stuff together and I was very happy with the results. If you try it and tweak it, let me know. I edited the recipe after reading the great suggestions.

Cucumber Sauce for Gyros image

Steps:

  • Put the cucumber into a colander and sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Let rest for 10-15 minutes to allow extra juices to escape the cucumber.
  • Gently squeeze the cucumber in a paper or cloth towel.
  • Put everything a bowl and mix well (I don't rinse the cucumber).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate for a couple of hours prior to using (if you have time).
  • A turn or two in the food processor would yield a nice smooth sauce.
  • Good on anything, especially Gyros.

6 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
1 large cucumber (seeded, peeled and finely chopped, or grated)
1 pinch salt (to taste)
1 pinch pepper (to taste)

Vegan Seitan Gyro W/ Cucumber Sauce image

Steps:

  • Peel and grate the cucumber. Put the grated cucumber into a strainer and set in the sink for 10 minutes to drain.
  • Squeeze the cucumber to remove excess moisture and place into a small bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Cover and place in the fridge to let the flavors meld while you cook.
  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the seitan bits and garlic and stir until the seitan begins to brown. Add all of the seasonings and stir well. Sautee until the seitan is well cooked and fragrant. Turn off the heat.
  • Assemble the sandwich with the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions, cooked seitan and cucumber sauce. Eat open-face or fold up and hold on tight!
