How about tzatziki?

1 English Cucumber, yoghurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, parsley

Grate cucumber finely and allow to drain in
a colander.
Mix cucumber with 2-3 crushed cloves of garlic and yoghurt in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons
of olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley. Allow to chill for 3 hours. Serve as a dip or
condiment to fish or meat dishes. My favorite
dish is stuffed green peppers (Greek way) served with tzatziki on the side.

Another suggestion is to take a pita bread and fill it with falafel and tzatziki.
