Errrrr
You appear to have suggested lemon juice and crushed garlic twice here, not to mention lemon zest??????????.
What is greek style veg? surely not more garlic!. Definitely not a romantic meal for two.

the souvlaki marinade uses both lemon juice and zest, and crushed garlic,
the tzaziki sauce is an accompaniement to the souvlaki and has it's own set of ingredients.
greek style veg would be the like of aubergine and zuchinni(courgette) usually grilled or roasted.
fair enough garlic is not to everyones taste, but i never suggested it as a romantic meal for two, rather something i like and thought some of the others on here might like to try
take care
