Called tzatziki in Greece, this yogurt sauce can also be used on a baked potato as a nonfat alternative to sour cream. To prevent the pita bread in this recipe from getting soggy, place the trimmed portion of the bread down into the pocket to act as a sponge for the lamb drippings and yogurt.

For a nice picnic, pack up this salad (chill it well first), some bread and wine.

With steamed asparagus and some rice or mashed potatoes, this easy dish is elegant enough for company.
