Tzatziki Time: A Creamy, Cool Contrasting Sauce

This sauce is necessary, folks! Trust me. It provides that perfect cool, creamy contrast to the richness of the gyro meat. Here's how to make it:

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated (squeeze out excess moisture with a cheesecloth or paper towel to avoid a watery sauce)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Put everything in a bowl and stir well. Taste and change the seasoning according to personal preference. Let this sit in the fridge at least for 30 minutes for flavors to meld together. And the longer, the merrier-the reward of patience is just phenomenal.
