Dorm Dash: Tzatziki Greek Cucumber Yogurt Dip

Tzatziki is a yogurt-based cucumber sauce that is very popular. The traditional preparation combines strained salted sheep's or goat's milk yogurt with cucumbers, garlic, and herbs. However, modern ingredients will do for this dip. This is often served with warm bread or for a popular Greek dish known as Souvlaki(grilled pork).
