    Title: Tzatziki (Cucumber & Yogurt Sauce)
    Categories: Sauces, Dairy, Squash
    Yield: 2 1/2 cups

    1 sm Cucumber; grated
    2 c Yogurt
    2 ts Garlic; minced
    2 ts Distilled white vinegar
    3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    Salt & white pepper

    Peel, seed, and coarsely grate the cucumber. Squeeze
    the grated cucumber between your hands to extract as
    much liquid as possible. You should have about a 1/2
    cup of cucumber when finished.

    Into the container of a food processor, place the
    cucumber and all of the remaining ingredients. Pulse
    to blend. *

    Transfer the blended sauce to a bowl. Cover and chill
    for at least 2 hours or overnight, to allow flavours
    to meld. This sauce will keep for up to a week in the
    refrigerator.

    * original recipe called for "electric blender" but I
    find that a food processor or bowl and whisk work much
    better and allow a bit of texture in the finished
    sauce. -- UDD

    Makes about 2 1/2 cups of sauce.
