TZATZIKI SAUCE-- GREEK CUCUMBER/YOGURT SAUCE
This is the cool and creamy sauce that usually is served as a condiment on Greek Gyro sandwiches. The recipe calls for the thicker, Greek Yogurt, also called, "Greek Cheese". If you can't find this type of yogurt, you can use plain, regular yogurt from the grocery store. But in order to get the sauce to the desired thicker consistency, you need to suspend the yogurt in a cheesecloth for a couple of hours to drain some of the water off. If you don't mind it moderately runny, you can just make it as is and it is still delicious, just a little more messy.

Steps:
- Peel cucumbers and dice. Put them in a colander and sprinkle with the tablespoon of salt (draws water out). Cover with a plate and sit something heavy on top. Let sit for 30 minute Drain well and wipe dry with a paper towel.
- In food processor or blender, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and/or mint, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir into yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend.
- This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.
- ** If you can't find the thicker Greek Yogurt Cheese, you can use regular, plain yogurt that is either full fat or low fat. To thicken, spoon yogurt into cheese cloth that has been quadrupled. Draw the corners of the cloth up and tie together. Suspend above a bowl for 2 hours so that water can drip out. The consistency of the yogurt should be like that of sour cream.
- You can skip this draining process, if you want, but you will have a moderately messier, runnier result.

GRILLED SALMON WITH TZATZIKI (CUCUMBER-YOGURT SAUCE) AND WARM FINGERLING POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Several hours before serving, make the potato salad: Rinse the potatoes, leaving their skins on. Put them in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover well and add a sprinkling of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then adjust the heat to maintain a steady boil and cook until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced easily with a long metal skewer, about 15 minutes. Drain well, transfer to a large mixing bowl filled with ice and water, and leave until thoroughly cooled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, stir together the vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Peel the potatoes, using your fingertips and, if necessary, a small, sharp knife to slip off their skins. Cut each potato crosswise into discs about 1/4 inch thick and add them to the vinegar mixture. Add the red onion, toss gently, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours. Make tzatziki For the salmon: Preheat an outdoor or indoor charcoal or gas grill. Brush the salmon fillets on both sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill to the desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side per 1 inch of thickness for medium, 5 minutes per side for cooked through but still moist. Meanwhile, put the potato salad in a sauté pan with the chicken broth and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper, if necessary. To serve, spoon the potato salad onto 4 serving plates to form even beds. Place a salmon fillet on top of each. Spoon some of the cool cucumber sauce over each fillet and around the plate, transferring the rest to a serving bowl to pass at table. Garnish each serving with a dill sprig. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: For the best results, use fresh, firm cucumbers that are not too watery. English or Persian cucumbers are good choices.
- Peel the cucumbers if desired: Peeling the cucumbers is optional, but it will give the sauce a smoother texture. If you choose to peel them, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to remove the skin.
- Grate the cucumbers: The easiest way to grate the cucumbers is to use a box grater. Use the large holes to grate the cucumbers, and be sure to grate them all the way down to the seeds. If you don't have a box grater, you can also use a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
- Salt the cucumbers: Salting the cucumbers helps to draw out excess moisture and prevents the sauce from becoming watery. Place the grated cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse them well and pat them dry.
- Use full-fat yogurt: Full-fat yogurt will give the sauce a richer, creamier texture. If you use low-fat or nonfat yogurt, the sauce may be too thin.
- Add your favorite herbs and spices: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the sauce to taste. Some good options include dill, mint, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
- Chill the sauce before serving: Chilling the sauce before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop. For the best results, chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Cucumber yogurt sauce is a delicious and refreshing sauce that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be used as a dip, a dressing, or a marinade. With its cool, creamy texture and tangy flavor, cucumber yogurt sauce is sure to become a new favorite.
