2. Serve by itself or with your favorite dish. This sauce is delicious in pita sandwiches, stews, gyros, red meat, rice, Persian cooking, salads, and more.

There is something special about the combination of the spiciness of the garlic, the sweetness from the Eatnuts.com Raisins, and the crunch from the cucumbers that keep it fresh and light along with the creaminess of the yogurt. The blend of flavors can easily be enjoyed by itself although adding in a starch like rice or meat adds a new dimension and depth to the experience.
