Friday's Last Spoonful: Tzatziki Sauce

A refreshing dollop will do
Mention tzatziki sauce to us and we think of Greek food. The combination of minty dill and pungent garlic gives this sauce a yummy flavor. Chilled tzatziki provides a nice contrast to freshly grilled meats that Greeks often season heavily. It’s the cool mix of creamy yogurt with gyro meat, turkey sliders, or souvlaki meat that’s killer for the taste buds. And don’t forget the diced cucumber, which makes a nice crunch in every bite. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice in and add a dash of sea salt and paprika for a little added flavor. Feeling frisky? Go ahead, be daring and mix in a few drops of Tabasco. We suggest using tzatziki sauce as a light substitute for salad dressing or for topping stuffed peppers or stuffed mushrooms. Or have it handy as a dip for pita chips if you're looking for a different kind of snack.
