Tzatziki is my new obsession. I could (and have been) eating it on everything lately. I love the light and bright flavors it’s so fresh I could eat it with a spoon. Lol! And tzatziki goes so well on so many things, you can use it as a dip for warm pita, veggie sticks or douse a sandwich with it – the possibilities are literally endless.
The only other thing to say is…you gotta try this easy tzatziki! When I make a fresh batch you can bet I’m going to make a Greek Chicken Pita. It’s a great vessel for loading on the sauce!
