Grilled Greek-Yogurt Chicken Souvlaki and Avocado Tzatziki

I live in Queensland, Australia and have always loved to cook. An avid cookery book collector(last count 324). I only share something if I have actually cooked it.

We loved this dish. The tzatziki is really tasty. Use a good amount of hot sauce.

½ cup extra virgin Greek olive oil

2 generous tablespoons Dijon or other mustard

1 teaspoon cayenne or less, to taste

2 tablespoons Petimezi grape molasses

½ cup fresh strained orange juice

Sea salt and black pepper to taste
