good eats

if i had access to decent tomatoes, i would be making gallons of gazpacho, but an excellent substitute summertime food is tzatziki:

1. two cups of greek strained yogurt (they've even got it in fat-free at publix---delicious taste and texture and two active cultures)

2. one large cucumber, seeded and diced

[2a. one medium vidalia onion, diced, which is technically not part of any authentic greek tzatziki recipes that i've seen, but is recommended nonetheless]

3. two cloves of garlic, mashed together with a teaspoon or so of salt until it is a nice paste and then mixed with a teaspoon or so of olive oil and a couple of teaspoons of white wine vinegar

4. fresh dill, a teaspoon or two, cut fine

5. black pepper to taste

mix all of that together and serve cold----you can be a pig, like me, and eat it with a spoon along with toast or crackers, or eat it like you are supposed to with pita or as a sauce on something else---yum
