Toss shredded cucumber with 1 teaspoon kosher salt; set aside for at least 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix yogurt, sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Season with garlic, fresh dill, and Greek seasoning. Squeeze cucumber to remove any excess water; stir into sauce. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Place pita rounds on the grill, and cook for about 2 minutes, until warm, turning frequently to avoid burning. Arrange warmed pita, sliced chicken, lettuce, onion, tomato, olives, and pepperoncini on a serving platter. Serve tzatziki sauce and feta cheese in separate bowls on the side. Stuff pita pockets with chicken and toppings to serve.

Butternut Squash Cheesecake
This butternut squash cheesecake is genius—it's lighter, more flavorful, and just as rich and decadent as its pumpkin cheesecake cousin. This one is baked Basque cheesecake-style, hot and fast, needs no crust, and will be nicely browned on top. It may crack, but really, do we care when it is this creamy and delicious?
Tofu Sandwich Spread
This is a favorite vegetarian sandwich spread made with tofu. It makes a great sandwich filling, or you can eat it with crackers.
