* Here is a Greek version of a salad that is common throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. While appropriate as a side dish with foods of those regions, Tzatziki is also a refreshing counterpoint for a spicy Eggplant-Spinach Curry (p. 355) or Golden Curry (p. 359).

Preparation Time: 20 minutes;
