TZATZIKI

Tzatziki image

Tzatziki is a popular Greek sauce traditionally served with souvlaki and pita bread, but it's super versatile in its potential: It's a great snacking dip with crudités and chips, as well as a bright and tangy sauce to drizzle on grain bowls or serve alongside roasted chicken or salmon. Most commonly finished with dill, tzatziki is sometimes made - and equally delicious - with other fresh herbs, like mint or oregano. It can be made a few hours ahead and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
