TZATZIKI SAUCE -YOGURT AND CUCUMBER DIP
Drain some low-fat yogurt overnight to make this yummy cucumber dressing. This is a delicious topping for grilled chicken or meat. It's also a great dip for veggies and pita chips. Added another clove of garlic ( werewolves in Florida). Eliminated the parsley and go a little bit heavier on the fresh dill.

CUCUMBER DILL DIP TZATZIKI AMERICAN STYLE
Cucumber,Dill and garlic in a creamy spread or dip! Great with pita bread, vegetable plate, crackers or even meat. I had been looking at Tzatziki recipes and came up with a version that turned out to be both delicious and versatile! Americanized with ingredients that are readily available. Cucumbers are in season now and this is a great way to try something a little different.

Steps:
- Take out cream cheese and let it get to room temperature.
- While the cream cheese is coming to room temperature, peel the cucumber and slice it down the middle (long way) Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then grate the fleshy deseeded cucumber halves.
- Place the grated cucumber in a colander or cheese cloth along with the salt. Let it sit for at least 1/2 hour to drain more liquid. Then squeeze out as much water as you can. It will not be completely dry, but give it what you got!
- In a Kitchen aid, or bowl if using a hand blender, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend it until it is smooth. If you want a thinner sauce, add more sour cream. You can also use plain yogurt in place of the sour cream.
- Add the vinegar,garlic,chives and dill. Blend again. Then add the drained shredded cucumbers. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate over night to blend flavors, but do taste it and add according to taste. This is not a traditional Tzatziki recipe, but one that can be made with ingredients that are readily available. Fresh tasting and many ways to enjoy! :)
