TZATZIKI (GYRO SAUCE)
I love the sauce that is on a gyro. I wanted to make my own for a greek salad to use as a dressing and found this in a Gourmet magazine. It worked out great. Now I just need to figure out gyros so that I can have it on that. Cooking time is for the chilling it is not necessary but I like mine served cold.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your gyros will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, crisp lettuce, and flavorful tomatoes and onions.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Make sure the pitas are warm: Warm pitas will help to keep the gyros warm and prevent the fillings from making the pitas soggy.
- Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about gyros is that you can customize them to your liking. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.
- Serve the gyros immediately: Gyros are best served fresh and hot. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook the shrimp and vegetables in advance and then assemble the gyros just before serving.
Conclusion:
Lemony-herb shrimp gyros with ranch tzatziki are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these gyros a try. You won't be disappointed!
