Tzatziki Sauce

Add to Recipe Box

Tzatziki sauce is a versatile yogurt based sauce that can be used for Gyro’s, Greek salads, souvlaki or as a dip for pita chips and falafel. It’s easy to make and to customize to your own taste. I like lots of lemon juice and dill and less cucumber but you can mix it up any way you like to suit yourself.
