Its All Greek To Me

It is no secret that I am an Aldi girl. It took me a very long time to try the place out and now I am totally hooked. The only downside is that so many great things I find there are seasonal and I can only get them for a limited time. BOOOO! Most recently I tried their Mediterranean style chicken burgers. We are SO hooked. I made them and put them in wraps  reminiscent of Greek Souvlaki with lettuce/spinach mix, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and red onion. Topped with a creamy Tzatziki, we had them for three days in a row. I make my tzatziki with sour cream instead of yogurt because I really don't like yogurt all that much. With the sour cream it is reminiscent of my mothers German cucumber salad (but better - don't tell her I said that). Now I am hoping they have more in stock so I can buy up a stock pile for the rest of the summer.

Tzatziki Sauce

1 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove liquid
1-2 cloves garlic, grated (use a microplane if you have one)
1 pint sour cream
Juice of half a lemon
salt and pepper to taste

Mix it all together and let sit a bit before serving.
