I love the sauce that is on a gyro. I wanted to make my own for a greek salad to use as a dressing and found this in a Gourmet magazine. It worked out great. Now I just need to figure out gyros so that I can have it on that. Cooking time is for the chilling it is not necessary but I like mine served cold.
Ingredients:
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup plain yogurt (preferably goat's or sheep's milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
Directions:
1. Toss cucumber with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a colander and drain 15 minutes.
2. Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then whisk together with olive oil, yogurt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
3. Squeeze out any excess water from cucumbers with your hands, then stir cucumbers into yogurt mixture. Season with salt.
4. Cover and chill 1 hour.
