On tonight's menu: Chicken pita's with lettuce, feta cheese & homemade tzatziki sauce! I bought whole wheat pitas for some extra fiber. A little tip: I always make sure when purchasing feta cheese, I get the block, not the already crumbled one. If they have already crumbled it for you, then that's more work for them & that means you are paying more for a lesser amount of cheese! I cooked the chicken with a little bit of oil in a pan & some cajun seasonings(for a little heat). I used some left over lettuce from last night's salad & whipped up the tzatziki sauce in no time. You must make the sauce a few hours ahead of dinner, so the flavors have time to get to know each other.
~Tzatziki Sauce
2 cups of plain greek yogurt
1 tbsp of lemon juice
1-2 garlic cloves
1 cucumber
1 tbsp of dried dill
salt & pepper (to taste)
Put yogurt in a bowl & set to the side. Prepare the rest of the ingredients to go into a food processor. Cut around the seeds of the cucumber & cut into chunks. Place the cucumber on paper towels & try to get as much water out as possible. Then mix all the ingredients in the food processor. Add the ingredients to the yogurt bowl & stir. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before eating!
Go greek tonight!
