Drain some low-fat yogurt overnight to make this yummy tzatziki sauce—yogurt and cucumber dip. This is a delicious topping for grilled chicken or meat. It's also a great dip for veggies and pita chips. I add another clove of garlic (wearwolves of Florida), eliminate parsley, and go a little bit heavier on fresh dill.
