Tzatziki
"This is a classic Greek cucumber yogurt dip, great with warm pita bread and also commonly used as sauce in gyros. If you can't find the Greek yogurt called for in the recipe, buy regular plain yogurt and strain it over cheesecloth rubber banded on the top of a bowl for about 2 hours until thick."
