TZATIKI
Originally uploaded by Dirceu Garcia
Among the many dishes under the Mediterranean category are . . .

Tzatziki, a Greek and Turkish meze or appetizer, also used as a sauce for gyros.

Tzatziki is made of strained yoghurt (usually from sheep or goat milk) mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, and sometimes lemon juice, and dill or mint or parsley.[1]

Tzatziki is always served cold. While in Greece and Turkey the dish is usually served as an accompaniment, in other places tzatziki is often served with bread (loaf or pita) as part of the first course of a meal.

15 pts if you make your own tzatziki.

Or just bring a carton of yogurt, Plain, please, for 5 pts.
