Tzatziki Sauce
Tzatziki is a quick and easy spread or dip that takes just minutes to make. It's a good idea to plan ahead so the sauce has time to chill in the fridge so all of the flavors develop. It's garlicky and flavored with fresh dill and just a hint of mint. Serve it as a dip with pita and veggies for an easy appetizer or spoon it over baked fish or roasted vegetables.
