The ingredients for Impromptu Tzatziki are:

Cheesecloth
32 oz. Plain Low-fat Yogurt
1T Lemon Juice
.25t Pepper
1 medium cucumber, peeled and deseeded
2 cloves of garlic
1T oregano
.5T Basil
.5t paprika
.34t salt

Here is how you make Impromptu Tzatziki:

Place cheesecloth over a large bowl and secure with a rubberband. You will want several layers of cheesecloth. Spoon the yogurt on top of the cheesecloth. Place a plate on top with a can on top of the plate. Refrigerate overnight. This will drain all the excess whey out of the yogurt and make your tzatziki thick and creamy.Coarsely chop the cucumber and place in your food processor or blended. Blend until finely chopped. Now, you can do one of two things: either press the excess liquid out of the cucumbers NOW, or wait until later but the later option takes longer.Add garlic, lemon juce, spices, and yogurt. Mix until combined. If you did not press the liquid out of the cucumber your tzatziki will be a little thin here. Put the mixture back on the cheesecloth (no need for the plate and can this time) and refrigerate overnight. In the morning you will have thick, creamy tzatziki.Makes 6 1/4 cup servings.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RACHELMARLENA.
