Classic Tzatziki
Servings: 2-3 servings
Tzatziki is a simple and yet delicious dipping sauce that goes with salmon, pita bread, lamb, etc. Its use has endless possibilities.
As a young child I remember my mom would served a similar version with poached salmon during the summer and though I didn’t love salmon at the time I did love that sauce. It was perfect on hot Oklahoma summer days when you didn’t want to eat anything. Later when my husband and I went to Greece it was exciting to see a new take on a sauce that I had loved for years.
