Cucumber Gyro Sauce

Ever enter a restaurant,
and wonder what sauce is that?
It's so delicious..
How do they make that?

I was at an Indian Restaurant last year
with my girlfriend...
We wonder what sauce it was
that tasted so delicious..
We could ask the chef but then..
we realized that it's cucumber sauce as
stated in the menu..

So I hunt for the recipe of it online..
I've tried several and tasted/tested several..
and I came out with this one..
a combination of all the recipe..

Indeed, a very very simple Gyro Cucumber Sauce..


Ingredients:

2 cups Plain Yogurt
1 jalapeno pepper (any color but I use green, unseeded)
a handful of cilantro (clean & rinse)
1 cucumber (peeled and unseeded)
1 lime (need the juice)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp Olive oil

Methods:

1) Chopped the jalapeno pepper and cilantro using electric chopper
2) Dice 1/4 of the cucumber into small dice
3) Chopped the 3/4 of the cucumber
4) Mix all the above blended veges into the plain yogurt.
Gently stir them. Add salt and pepper to taste
5) Add olive oil into the mixture and stir gently
6) Squeeze the lime and stir the mixture
7) Let it sat for 30 minutes in the fridge

Now, it's done..
 You can taste it and eat it with your salad..
