Tzatziki Sauce

Click for larger view

This is a classic Greek sauce that you often get with gyros.  It works equally well with many other dishes including our Cedar Planked Salmon.  The key to making this sauce is you use the thickest Greek yogurt you can find.  Otherwise your sauce will come out watery.
