Tzatsiki and Greek Pitas

I spent 2 months in Greece this summer, and one of my favorite dips/snacks was definitely tzatsiki, which is a garlicy, cucumbery, cool yogurt dip that goes perfectly with some fried and grilled Greek pitas. This might be a recipe to use during spring time or summer time, but it's good to have around in case you've got to whip up a quick appetizer for guests.

Prep:
8 oz Greek-style unflavored yogurt
1 cucumber
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 bag flour pitas

Shave cucumber into fine, almost transparent slices and cut into slivers. Crush or finely chop garlic clove. Mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and oil well.

Cut pitas like a pizza. Fill frying pan with olive oil, and place pita in oil for 2 minutes. Then bake in oven or grill until crispy. Serve tzatsiki chilled.
