• Whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 large clove garlic, minced, l/2 tsp. dried oregano, l/2 teaspoon salt, and l/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Trim and cut l.5 pounds pork tenderloin into 1 inch cubes.
• In large bowl, marinate pork in whisked mixture for 10 minutes or cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
• Shred one cup of cucumber.
• Mix cucumber with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, let stand for 10 minutes.
• Squeeze out moisture.
• Mix cucumber, 1/4 cup balkan-style plain yogurt (Fage or Greek yogurt), 2 clover garlic, minced, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (I added dried dill weed to taste), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.  This is called Tzatziki.
• Thread pork onto metal skewers, and brush with remaining marinade.  Place on greased grill over medium high heat.
• Close lid and grill, turning halfway through, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 12 minutes.  
• Remove from skewers.  Serve with 2 plum tomatoes, sliced (I used cherry tomatoes sliced in half because that is what I had on hand), sliced red onion, 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce and greek-style pocket-less pitas.

This meal was quick and easy and even my husband enjoyed it!
