Greek Yogurt people

Went out to pick this up, and was a bit disappointed to see the same old fruit flavors as the regular yogurt.  I've long hated sweet yogurt - I always buy plain.  The diner by me serves Greek yogurt as a side dish with some herbs and cucumber in it, so this is what I was expecting to see in the stores.Does anyone eat their Greek yogurt more herb-y than sweet?  If so, what do you put in it?Indians eat a very similar Indian yogurt sauce, but thinner.  My mom sautees the herbs before adding them in.

Sorry no suggestions,  but I am interested in trying it with herbs and cucumbers.

Veena - Aren't you talking about tzatsiki sauce?

I add seasoning from the hidden valley ranch dip in the pouch. Then I dip veggies in it!

I buy the plain kind--then you can flavor it however you want! I like to just add sweetener, almond extract and sometimes blueberries or raspberries. I hate buying berries because they're so expensive and they last about 5 minutes since I eat them all immediately.

I also buy the plain. I've never tried adding herbs, but I do use it as a sub for sour cream sometimes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TzatzikiIt's really good, on fries are my favorite.  You can buy it at costco premade.  There are recipes online too-

Veena - I have Greek family and make this super delicious dip all the time.  Here's a recipe I found online that is pretty authentic.  Though many recipes use lemons, I almost always use some red wine vinegar:http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/07/worlds-best-tzatziki-sauce-recipe-greek.html

Thanks so much ladies!  Bren, from the picture on wikipedia, I think tsatziki must be what they give me at my diner!  Funny, I am pretty sure it is called "greek yogurt" on the menu, and the waitress is always clueless about what is in it.I can always turn to knotties to solve my NWR mysteries... no matter how random.

Now I'm upset I ate all the plain greek yogurt I bought today.  I only bought 1 to make sure I liked it.  I may run to the grocery store again
