Great
I made this for my boyfriend and myself. He was not thrilled about eating it until he took a bite. It was very taste and refreshing. We will definitely make it again.

Amazing!
My husband and I are big fans of Greek food, as well as healthy cooking. This was just amazing! We made them open-faced, because the pitas were small. I also used a Bermuda onion, and sauteed it in cooking spray (instead of the purple onion!). SOOO GOOD!

Very good!
My husband and I are huge fans of gyros, so we were slightly skeptical about the "low fat" sauce in this recipe. However, once I made this, we were very pleasantly surprised! I also added a few crumbles of fat free Feta cheese. I will definitely make these again!

So Yummy!
My husband and I both loved this sandwich. We added a tiny bit of low fat feta cheese, and mixed a little green onion into the cucumber dressing! Very tasty.

Grilled Greek Chicken
We had this for dinner recently - it was different and a nice change. The yogurt sauce was a little too chunky for me; next time I think I will run it through the food processor.

Yummy
The sauce was far better than I had expected (being low fat and all). I made a couple of additions: I added a sprinkle of feta to the sauce, used pre-cooked frozen chicken pieces instead of chicken breasts, and put it all in a wrap instead of a pita. It was still delish!
