Salmon Pitas with Tzatziki sauce!

Growing up as a catholic I observed Lent pretty much every year since birth. Every Friday during the Lenten season we abstain from meat as a penitential practice. With that said, today's lunch on the first Friday of Lent was Salmon Pita Pockets with home made Tzatziki Sauce. With most of the ingredients being pretty straight forward and not needing much prep or cooking, here is my recipe for my Tzatziki Sauce! Enjoy! 

TZATZIKI SAUCE 

Ingredients:

1 cup of Fage Greek yogurt

1/2 cucumber chopped or small diced

2 tsp lemon juice

2 Tblsp chopped fresh dill

2 cloves minced (sometimes I like to roast and smash the garlic for more flavor)

1 Tblsp honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and store in fridge until ready to grub! 

Sometimes I add a splash of red wine vinegar or more lemon juice too. It thins it out for me to use that as a salad dressing as well! You can put it on a sandwich or use it as a dip with pita chips! Enjoy the recipe and eat smart!
