Tzatziki

1 Garlic Clove
Olive Oil
1 medium cucumber
1 and 1/2 C Greek Yogurt, plain
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp fresh dill herb


Take garlic clove with some olive oil on top, wrap in tin foil and bake in oven. Cook at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes to an hour. When done, let cool and push garlic out of the clove; it will be a paste. Set aside.

Take 1 medium cucumber, use a chopper or grinder or a blender until it is small and course.  Drain excess juice out of the cucumber while draining mix with salt.  Let sit for 30 minutes.  Mix with 1 and 1/2 C Greek Yogurt, plain, 2 teaspoon lemon juice.  Grind 1 teaspoon of fresh dill as small as possible. Mix everything with a 1/2 teaspoon of roasted garlic paste, this was set aside previously to use now.

Once mixed, then taste and adjust to your own taste with any of the seasonings.

Sauce will last a couple of days in the fridge.  Always serve cold.
