    You can make chicken gyros!

    Pitas
    Chicken (marinated in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic & oregano)

    Tzatiki Cucumber Sauce:
    1 Cup Greek Yogurt
    1 minced garlic clove
    1/2 tsp oregano, or mint if you prefer
    1/2 cup diced cucumbers
    Salt to taste

    Garnish pitas with fresh tomato and cucumbers!!!

    This sounds so yummy must try it where do you get that Tzatiki Cucumber sauce?

    how about a nice greek salad with your cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese, and greek dressing. Doesn't take much dressing...

    I know the question wasn't for me but they wrote the recipe for the tzatiki sauce under the name for you to make it yourself :). Looks good I think I might try to make it myself since I always have a stock of cucumbers (just went to the store and bought 6 more giant cukes because I was getting low :P.)

    You don't have to eat it, you could always make a facial out of it, just shread the cucumber and squeeze out the juice, add lemon juice and sugar (but make sure the liquid is icy cold first so the sugar doesn't disolve!) and viola! apply to the face and rub gently in circles for a max of 5 mins, its veryy refreshing :)

    Or you could shread it, add some creme freche or 0% fat greek yogurt and some chopped up mint for a nice summery dip :)

    We have tons in our garden too. My husband soaks them in something in the fridge over night but I don't like them in that vinegar tasting stuff....so i just simply slice, salt, and dip!! I use the Walmart Brand LIGHT Buttermilk Ranch...soooo good.
