I love Tzatziki. I've eaten it for years on Greek dishes, but you're right - it is very versatile and can be used in many ways. If you can find Greek yogurt at your store (mine just now started carrying it), try it here. It's thicker and has less water content than the yogurt we're accustomed to. Delish... Great post - thanks so much!


Love this stuff too. Have never experimented with any thing but Greek dishes, but will try. Thanks!


I'm a huge fan too! So much healthier than mayo or ranch dressing! Great post!!


I love this stuff!*wink* Tops!


This will be fun to try--thanks!
