TZATZIKI Sauce

• 1 cucumber, peeled, grated, and squeezed (makes about ½ cup)

• 1 ¼ cup Greek yogurt, whole fat

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons dill, chopped

Gyro

• 4 pita bread or lavash bread wraps

• 2 tomatoes cubed

• 1 small red onion, sliced

• 1 head of lettuce sliced

Instructions:

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip bag. Mix well and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat the grill to high. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked, then slice into strips.
