This sauce has an authentic flavor and is easy to make. You don't need any exotic ingredients. This is made with sour cream. You can chill as little as an hour before using, but overnight is best.

Greek Gyro Meatloaf With Cucumber Yogurt Sauce image

I found this recipe on the side of a gyro mix box. So quick and easy! For the gyro mix, use a boxed brand that has couscous as the main ingredient. I used a loaf pan when making this because it held form better that way.
