Tzatziki!

Tzatziki is a delicious dip. It’s great with most grilled meats, or just with warm pita. This is my easy, go to recipe for those summer BBQs when I want to add some variety to my appetizers, as well as have a great side for my chicken or lamb kebabs! It’s also delicious with veggie kebabs! Basically I just dip everything in this! This is pictured with my Chicken Kebab and Delicious Pita recipes!
