Gyro Salad

Costco is great! What would we do without Costco? One of our latest discoveries there was their new, or at least new to us, frozen gyro meat. We’ve have it a few times already. It’s really good too. Anyway, that’s what we pulled down from the freezer and added to this week’s meat rotation. I turned it into a gyro salad.

I made a yogurt dressing, and mixed together Romaine lettuce, red onions, sliced very thin, sliced cucumbers, of course some of my fresh tomatoes, feta cheese for Larry, and sliced mixed olives. Then I added the Costco gyro meat and a warmed pita and hummus and served it all with a cool, crisp Albarino on the side. It was delicious and just perfect for a summer’s meal. I used some of the red and yellow tomatoes for this cool salad.

Yogurt Dressing

This dressing was similar to a tzatziki sauce only I added a little Prosecco vinegar as well to make it more of a salad dressing.

1-1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

2 TBSP lemon juice

fresh ground black pepper

2 tsp garlic

dash of cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

2 TBSP Prosecco vinegar or apple cider vinegar – I used Prosecco vinegar

2 tsp fresh basil, chiffonade

Mix everything together well, and add to your salad or use as a marinade for meats. Delicious, quick, and easy-peasy.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
