Make your dipping sauce cooler!
Tzatziki sauce is traditionally used as a dressing for gyros or Greek salad. However it’s the perfect condiment for burgers and baked potatoes, and easily doubles as a dip. If you haven’t had it before, you must try it – simply put, Tzatziki tickles our tastebuds and it’s a healthy alternative to higher calorie condiments and dips! This is a great recipe to serve at a party as those who have tried it before LOVE it, for those who haven’t had the pleasure, you will have introduced them to something new.
