Tzatziki… not only is it fun to say, but I love using this Greek staple as a spread, dip or dressing. Yum!
Ingredients:
2 c. plain yogurt, 1 c. sour cream, 1 cucumber, 4 garlic cloves, 1 Tbsp. fresh dill weed, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, fresh ground sea salt
Directions:
Cut cucumber in half length-wise, remove seeds and discard. Grate cucumber and squeeze excess fluid from pulp. Peel and mince garlic cloves. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, chill overnight to allow flavors to marry.
Serve with fresh pita wedges or crudité. Makes your homemade gyros even more tasty!
*You could substitute 3 c. plain Greek yogurt for the first two ingredients.
XOXO,

This was simply delicious. I made slight (and I mean slight) variations. My b/f who never eats the stuff was slathering it all over his naan! Thanks 🙂
