I've been looking for alternates to guacamole and hummus to dip my carrots in each day (I'll get off this carrot kick eventually and move on to another veggie, I swear..). I thought of a few ideas, and was given a few ideas from friends.  Tzatziki sauce was one that stood out that I HAD to try to make. Heres my first attempt:
It came out great! Heres how I did it:
(keep in mind it was a quick attempt so measurements arent exact, and I only made a small portion)
One small container of low fat Plain Greek Yogurt (100 calories)
About a teaspoon or so of dried Dill Weed
Half of a seedless cucumber
Chopped Garlic (either fresh or jarred, I used Organic Jarred, I used about a tablespoon)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Use a cheese grater and grate down the cucumber (skin and all) and either place on a paper towel to soak up some of the water, or push down in a strainer, get it pretty dry. 
Mix yogurt, cucumber, dill, chopped garlic in a bowl. Add Salt & Pepper to taste. 
I know some people say to add lemon juice to this, but seeing I'm a greek yogurt newbie, this was tart enough for me without the lemon. 
Again, SO EASY!! 
..and tastes so great with my carrots, that I didn't have any left over for todays lunch.. oops :)
