Mediterranean Filled Sandwich

These are inspired by my friend, Cathy.

Pita bread
Hummus
Tzatziki (Cucumber Dip)
Field Greens
Grape or Cherry Tomatoes, sliced
Crumbled Feta

Fill the pita with the other ingredients the same way you would a taco.

Cucumber Dip

An easier way to make Greek cucumber sauce, from my friend Sherri

1 large cucumber, seeded and coarsely grated
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3 small green onions and tops (finely chopped)
Tabasco sauce to taste (a few drops will be plenty)
Garlic to taste
Ground black pepper to taste

Wring out excess cucumber juice in clean cup towel so it is mostly cucumber and little juice. Mix cucumber onion and seasonings. (Use more mayo if needed). Refrigerate before serving. Can be kept several days in an airtight container.

Cucumber Spread

2 cups (1 pound) creamed cottage cheese
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 package (.56 oz) green onion dip mix
1/2 cup minced peeled cucumber
1/2 cup chopped watercress
1/2 tsp dill weed
chopped radishes

In a bowl, mix all ingredients except radishes. Chill at least one hour. Garnish with radishes and serve with crackers. Makes about 3 cups.
