Homemade Tzatziki Sauce

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce is the perfect accompaniment to any Greek meal, or as a dipper for pita chips. Fresh dill is key to this flavorful dip!

What makes a great Tzatziki Sauce?

1. Greek yogurt
2. cucumbers
3. fresh garlic
4. fresh dill
5. fresh lemon juice
6. salt and pepper
7. olive oil

See? Simple. But so tasty, and perfect in my Greek Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Chicken. It basically MAKES the Greek bowls, because duh….Greek plus Tzatziki.

I recommend making the Tzatziki Sauce several hours in advance to get those flavors melding together.

Fresh Pita Chips? Yay or Nay?

I say YAY. If you want to skip the Greek Bowls, you could just make pita chips and get to dipping. All you do is 1) take fresh pita bread, 2) brush olive oil all over them, 3) season with paprika, salt, pepper (or whatever you like), and 4) bake.

You won’t regret it, I promise.

Enjoy!
