Tzatziki Sauce for Gyros - Greek Salad Dressing
Ingredients:

1 cucumber
1 cup yogurt
1 cup sour cream
2 spoons garlic powder
1 spoons oregano
1 spoons mint(optional)
1 pinch dill (optional)
2 tbs olive oil
salt
Mix the sour cream and yogurt (drain the yogurt first!) in a bowl until it forms a creamy homogenous mass.

Take a big cucumber and skin it, then grate it. Using a paper towel, drain as much water as you can. We don't want water ruining our creamy texture.

Mix it with the sour cream and yogurt, and then add garlic, salt, olive oil and the spices to taste. Stick it in your fridge for an hour or so.

Directions:
For patties; Preheat broiler or prepare charcoal or gas grill. Combine ingredients lightly, but thoroughly in a large bowl.Shape into 8 thin patties. Broil, or grill, turning once, until meat is done as desired. Meanwhile, wrap grated cucumber in cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine sauce ingredients.

If pita bread without the pocket, the kind they use in restaurants, is available, shape the patties in kind of a cigar shape. Lightly grill the pita and wrap everything in the pita.
