Wow, it's been a while since we've had any posts! I've been trying to find time to come post some things but life has been pretty hectic. Anywho, I've really been missing cheese on my sandwiches lately and have found that if I add something different I don't miss it as much. Common sense, I know, but for not having much time to make lunch and actually eat it, finding things that are quick and easy is key. The other day I came across this blog (www.100daysofrealfood.com) with this recipe for Tzatziki Sauce. They said it could be used as a ranch dressing substitute. I'm normally not huge on ranch or on cucumbers, a main ingredient, but figured I'd give it a try since Ricky likes both those things and Nadia is always wanting his ranch. It is GOOD! I've been making wraps with this, turkey, and lettuce all week.
Tzatziki Sauce
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (whole milk variety works best)
1/2 large cucumber, grated with cheese grater
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Mix all ingredients together. Can be eaten immediately, but is better if you let it sit together in the fridge for a few hours/overnight.
The only thing I did differently was use Silk soy yogurt. I made it 4-5 days ago and it's still really good and hasn't gotten watery or anything. I just give it a quick stir before using it in case there's any separation going on.
