Tzatziki; is it a dip? Is it a sauce? Does it matter? If you’re anything like me, you’ll use this Tzatziki recipe on just about everything. It’s crazy versatile and can even be used as a sandwich spread instead of mayonnaise. Thanks to the cucumber and lemon, this sauce adds a cool and refreshing layer to whatever you combine it with and bonus; it’s healthy! I made the tzatziki to pair with chicken souvlaki (recipe will be coming at you tomorrow, so stay tuned) and finished the leftovers the same evening with sliced pita bread. It was awesome both ways. Bottom line; you need this Tzatziki sauce in your life.
