I never really have been a yogurt lover, but I LOVE gyros -- I always thought the cucumber sauce was mayonnaise based and I never have been able to replicate it -- once I learned it was yogurt based I figured I had to learn how to make it.

In figuring out how to make it I learned how versatile it is, as well as how healthy.

Because it is concentrated yogurt -- it contains nearly double the protein as the same amount of yogurt. Its thickness makes it feel rich but it is low fat and low sugar. If you use it plain it can replace sour cream in all sorts of recipes. It turns tomato soup into a rich tomato cream sauce. You can use it to make smoothies, as a dip with burritos, as a cheese on quesadillas -- It lends itself to all sorts of creative cooking -- Besides Tzatziki cucumber sauce.

As a side benefit -- because you can make it yourself from homemade yogurt -- it is sustainable and since yogurt is a way to extend the shelf life of milk -- this recipe is great for preppers. (It's also significantly cheaper to turn yogurt to Greek yogurt than to just buy it ready-made.)
