There are certain things that I eat out at restaurants that I always want to recreate at home. Tzatziki sauce is one of them.
Greek food is one of our favorite foods to eat out and each time we visit our favorite Greek restaurant we go through some serious tzatziki at our table. Well, maybe I go through some serious tzatziki at our table. Whatever. It’s good stuff.
I finally took the plunge and learned how to make this at home the other day. Why oh why have I not made it sooner I have no idea. I’ve been putting it on everything since I’ve made it…these Eggplant Burgers, wraps, salads, as a dip with pita chips… you name it. And it’s so incredibly good for you too. That still amazes me.
