Tzatziki Sauce
This homemade Tzatziki Sauce is fresh and flavorful, thanks to the grated cucumber, lemon juice, and fresh dill. We like to serve this as a dip for fresh veggies or pita bread, or as a sauce on sandwiches.

Notes
- We prefer the flavor of full fat Greek yogurt, but nonfat also works in this recipe.
- Some tzatziki recipes call for fresh mint. We prefer it without, but you may add in about a tablespoon of chopped mint, if desired.
- If serving as a dip, we often drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top.
