Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 green onion, finely chopped (white and green parts)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine first 6 ingredients (yogurt through pressed garlic); set aside. Preheat grill to MEDIUM-HIGH. In a medium bowl, place remaining ingredients, except pita bread. With your very clean hands, mix until well combined and stiff; separate into 4 portions. On each skewer pack 1 portion of meat mixture, about 5 inches long and not more than 3 inches in diameter. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently. Using the pita bread, slide the gyros into the centers; drizzle with sauce. Fold over and enjoy!
