Tzatziki Dip

Traditional tzatziki dip is usually loaded with sour cream or mayo, but in this recipe, the tangy dip has undergone its own extreme makeover! More than almost any other sauce tzatziki goes with just about anything. Try it today with grilled Greek chicken, tomatoes, and avocado inside a whole wheat pita or alongside veggies and pita chips.

Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) container low fat plain yogurt
½ cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped very fine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup purple onion, chopped fine
Salt and pepper to taste

Line a sieve or strainer with a coffee filter or cheese cloth, placed on top of a larger bowl. Pour yogurt into the filter and place in the fridge overnight. Discard the accumulated water. Mix all ingredients together with the strained yogurt and add salt and pepper to taste.
