Menu Planning: * Here is a Greek version of a salad that is common throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. While appropriate as a side dish with foods of those regions, Tzatziki is also a refreshing counterpoint for a spicy Eggplant-Spinach Curry (p. 355) or Golden Curry (p. 359). Preparation Time: 20 minutes; Chill Time: 30 mins.
Yield 3 quarts. per serving 56 cals, 1.2 g fat, 62 mg sodium.
