Cucumber Sauce for Gyros

Description: I tried different sauces but didn't find the taste I was looking for so I threw some stuff together and I was very happy with the results. If you try it and tweak it, let me know. I edited the recipe after reading the great suggestions.

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
• 1 large cucumber (seeded, peeled and finely chopped, or grated)
• 1 pinch salt (to taste)
• 1 pinch pepper (to taste)

Steps:

1. Put the cucumber into a colander and sprinkle with a little salt.
2. Let rest for 10-15 minutes to allow extra juices to escape the cucumber.
3. Gently squeeze the cucumber in a paper or cloth towel.
4. Put everything a bowl and mix well (I don't rinse the cucumber).
5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Refrigerate for a couple of hours prior to using (if you have time).
7. A turn or two in the food processor would yield a nice smooth sauce.
8. Good on anything, especially Gyros.
