Fresh Lemon Tzatziki

After eating at a Greek restaurant last week, I was inspired to make some tzatziki sauce at home.  A nice warm pita and tzatziki sauce made a fantastic snack or appetizer.  The addition of the Pastamore Meyer Lemon Oil gives this tzatiziki a unique and refreshing flavor.  Amounts of ingredients can be changed in this recipe easily to accommodate specific tastes.

Ingredients:
8 oz - fat free Greek yogurt
1/4-1/2 - medium cucumber
10-15 leafs - fresh mint
1 Tbsp - fresh lemon juice
To taste - salt and white pepper

Directions:
1.  Place Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl.  Add lemon juice.

2.  Peel the cucumber, and remove the seeds using a spoon.  Mince the cucumber and add to the yogurt.

3.  Remove the mint leafs from the stem.  Cut with a fine chop.  Add the mint and the Pastamore Meyer Lemon Oil to the mixing bowl.

4.  Mix until thoroughly incorporated.

5.  Serve with warmed pitas or flat bread.
