Kefir makes this a thinner sauce than traditional tsatsiki. You can use it as a dressing for a simple sliced cucumber salad, or as a dip for pita bread or to pair with grilled chicken gyros... actually, I think it's good on just about anything!
Mise en Place:
1½ c lowfat plain kefir
½ c grated cucumber (not needed if used as a sauce for sliced cucumber salad)
Can add more to taste:
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
This one is pretty straight forward. Mix all the ingredients and give the flavors a chance to marry while you cook the rest of your meal.
To "grate" the cucumber, I used a vegetable peeler, then chopped it finer with knife- I happen to like my knuckles just the way they are, thanks.
You can make this ahead of time, but remember to use less seasoning and taste test before serving. The quanitities of the seasonings will vary depending not only on your personal preference, but also on the time of year.
