When I fist made this Tzatziki sause, I had it in mind for Gyros. What I didn't know is that I would use it for vegi dip, salad dressing.. and just eat it by the spoon, its that good.

Notes
This comes together quick and easy, and far surpasses anything you can buy in the store. I've seen some people subsiture dill for the mint, and add replace half of the yogert with sour cream. I've tried it, and like it every way, but this is my favorite.
I do add 2 tablespoon of Red Wine vinegar to it most of the time.
