Tzatziki

SKIP TO RECIPE

Tzatziki, Ziziki, Tatziki… pronounce it however you’d like but this Greek yogurt and cucumber dip is one of the best and easiest condiments to make!! It is a staple at all Greek restaurants, typically served with pita bread or falafel or as a yummy spread in pita sandwiches.

Tzatziki Recipe

Traditional tzatziki has greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic, salt and pepper. For a little saltiness and extra deliciousness I also added some feta cheese to this recipe. Cause who doesn’t like feta cheese??? But honestly, the feta cheese just makes it so creamy and gives it that perfect salty tangy taste in combination with the yogurt.

  • As a spread in pita sandwiches
