I got this from the list some time ago.

Tzatziki Sauce for Gyros:

2 small cucumbers
Salt, to taste
1+1/4 cups yogurt, plain
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
White pepper, to taste
3 cloves garlic, or more
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Use fresh mint leaves, shredded, 2 Tablespoons dried mint, crushed or 1/4
cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley. Use more or less garlic, minced,
to
your preference. Peel, seed and dice cucumbers. Sprinkle with salt and set
aside to drain. Combine yogurt, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, pepper and
garlic in large bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, beat
yogurt sauce with wooden spoon until smooth. Have fresh mint torn into
small pieces. Dry cucumber by gently squeezing between paper towels.
Combine cucumbers with mint leaves and yogurt mixture. Add salt and
pepper to taste. Use with Gyros of all kinds. Can also be used as dippers
with pita bread cut into wedges and baked for few minutes until crisp.
