T-Z-A-T-Z-I-K-I it is super hard to pronounce correctly but ohhhh is it tasty. This Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Dip is a cool refreshing addition to your summer appetizer game.
If you have not yet been introduced to the deliciousness that is Tzatziki, let me do the honors. Tzatziki is a greek yogurt based dip with grated cucumber and fresh dill. It is famous for being slathered all over Gyros, Salads and even burgers. This dip literally goes with and on everything! I love to compliment my Greek Lemon Chicken Kebabs with Tzatziki. The spice and acidity of the chicken marinade with the cool crisp flavor of the Tzatziki is like the perfect blend of summer grilling flavors.
Tzatziki also stands alone as a fantastic dip for Pita bread and crisp veggies, etc. Heck I can eat this dip just by the spoonful it is that good. Plus it is good for you too, made with greek yogurt it is full of protein and healthy fats. I like to add a bit of extra spice to mine by adding a couple tablespoons of the Oil & Vinegar Tzatziki Garlic Dip. It is a mélange of wonderful Mediterranean spices to take your Tzatziki to the next level!
If you take away two tidbits of knowledge about Tzatziki from this blog post they should be this:
- First and foremost, it’s super delicious!
- It’s super easy to make, just stir all ingredients together in a bowl and you have yourself a healthy appetizer. BOOM Done!
Snack healthy my friends!
