Tzatziki

Tzatziki is my favourite food in the meze family (I actually like the Turkish variation, cajik, best of all - it's a little thinner). It's easy to make (particularly if you're ghetto like me and just combine 150g low fat greek yoghurt with 65g grated cucumber and garlic to taste - about 200 calories) or you can just follow a proper recipe with drained yoghurt, lemon juice, olive oil etc.

Instead of wasting money on "pita crisps", just grab some pita from your local bakery (Omara - 69c for 5 the day after they were baked, what a savings) and toss them in a sandwich press until the water leaves them. Better result than commercial, imho.
