hey hun, i cant see why not - assuming you are making your own?

Not sure if i would eat the supermarket ones... but its pretty easy to make it yourself

Thanks Ladies
Kitten - Oh I was speaking of the s/market ones - how do i make myself?? Do you have a recipe??

I think the supermarket ones would be just fine..... its just yoghurt with cucumber, garlic and lemon juice. After you've opened the tub I would eat it all straight away.... I'm sure you'll be able to manage that You can have trouble leaving things in the fridge after they've already been opened - that's when bugs can grow.

Hi Kafer girl,

here's one recipe - once you hve made it once or twice you will tweak it to your own taste.

Preparation Time

10 - 15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 8)

• 500g (2 cups) plain Greek-style yoghurt
• 1 telegraph cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded
• 1 large garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tbs finely chopped fresh chives
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 1/2 tbs fresh lemon juice
• Salt, to taste

Method

1. Place yoghurt in a sieve lined with muslin over a bowl and stand for 5-10 minutes to allow the excess whey to drain away Place yoghurt in a bowl and discard the whey.
2. Meanwhile, coarsely grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture with your hands. Combine yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, chives, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt. Cover and place in fridge for a day before serving to allow flavours to develop. Serve with the warm flat bread, marinated feta and marinated olives garnished with fresh herbs of your choice

Thanks Kitten!
I will have to wait till we do the shopping in town as the country town we live in would look at me strange if I was to ask for some of those products!! I can see I will be having it with EVERYTHING soon!
Thanks again!
