Cucumber sauce
Posted by nicki on Aug 8, 2012 in Uncategorized |
This is a great sauce for Gyros.
Ingredients
-
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
- 1 large cucumbers ( seeded, peeled and finely chopped, or grated)
- 1 pinch salt ( to taste)
- 1 pinch pepper ( to taste)
Directions
- Put the cucumber into a colander and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Let rest for 10-15 minutes to allow extra juices to escape the cucumber.
- Gently squeeze the cucumber in a paper or cloth towel.
- Put everything a bowl and mix well (I don’t rinse the cucumber).
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours prior to using (if you have time).
- A turn or two in the food processor would yield a nice smooth sauce.
- Good on anything, especially Gyros.
