Quentin's White Sauce

My husband makes an amazing tzatziki sauce. He has made this for me three times now and every time we eat it, I can't stop telling him how delicious it is. He has named it "Quentin's white sauce" because we are both notoriously bad spellers and tzatziki is just a cruel spelling joke. Anyway, I love Quentin's white sauce and am always happy when he makes it. 

3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo or Greek yogurt 
1/3 cup cucumber (peeled and diced) 
2 Tbs tahini sauce
1 Tbs lemon juice 
2 Tbs fresh chopped dill
5 fresh mint leaves chopped (optional)
1 small clove garlic minced 
Salt and pepper to taste 


You simply mix all the ingredients together and then there are a variety of ways you can serve it. It's best if you can make this a few hours in advance and let the flavors marry in the fridge for a bit. I love anything that's make ahead (nap time productivity baby)! 

Tonight we covered toasted bread in hummus, roasted chicken, and then topped it with the white sauce. 

I love to mix leftover white sauce into some rice for a lovely Greek tasting pilaf. You could also use your remaining cucumber, add tomatoes, and make a wonderful little salad. 

You could put this over any type of grilled meat inside of a pita or flatbread, add tomatoes and white sauce and its bomb. 

This would be wonderful over falafel, kabobs, fish, couscous, etc. Really any type of bland anything that would marry well with Greek flavors, this should be your go to sauce. So good. You won't be sorry. 

Bon appetite!
