Tzatziki

A delicious, traditional tzatziki recipe any lover of Greek food can't do without.


Regardless of whether it's served with warm, fresh pita, or with a plate of your favourite souvlaki, a delicious serving of tzatziki is almost mandatory for lovers of Greek food.


For anyone who has not experienced real tzatziki, it's a refreshing, cool dip made with thick, creamy Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, and garlic. It is wonderful served alongside meats, or as a dip for vegetables, breads or crackers.


Tzatziki is naturally gluten-free, low in calories and saturated fats, and suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians.
