Is there any better dip then "TZATZIKI"............it is creamy and refreshing.
It's a perfect dip with pita, basically I could slather it on anything. It's perfect for shish kabobs being lamb/chicken/beef. This is super easy to make and super healthy for you.
You can buy ready made Tzatziki basically at any supermarket.........But why buy the full-of-chemicals-stuff. When you can make it at home in a few minutes.
Tzatziki Cucumber Yogurt Source; Unknown
2 cups Greek yogurt [must be strained or the dry kind]
1 English Cucumber [seeded and grated, I find these have the best flavour]
1 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped fine
1 1/2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil [EVOO]
1 Tbsp. vinegar
Salt to taste
Place yogurt in a bowl...and set aside.
Grate cucmber and place in a strainer. I like to use un/peeled cucumbers.
To the yogurt add the cucumbers, garlic, dill, EVOO, vinegar and salt.
With a spatula fold all together gently till well combined.
Place in the refrigerator for flavours to marry.
OLIVES.............
These are some homemade olives that my sister/in/law makes for us when we go to Turkey to visit my husband's family...........Here are some photo's of Olives that they sell in Turkey daily at the outdoor Bazaars.......they are a must at every breakfast and throughout daily meals. They have large orchards of olive trees everywhere on the farms. First time I went I've never seen so many varieties of olives in my life........ I was totally blown away. I rarely saw any bottled olives like we have here in Toronto........most are all freshly made.
Thanks for stopping by.Today I'm linking to 'Outdoor Wednesdays' be sure and visit.
