Tzatziki Sauce

I don't know how the weather is wherever you live, but it's sunny and almost 80 degrees today (which is more than 100 degrees warmer than it was 3 months ago - crazy, right?) As I'm writing this, I'm basking in the warmth of the sun as it spills through my window and pretending it's summertime.


Given the summer-like weather, I can't think of a better thing to eat than tzatziki sauce - the cool yogurt and cucumbers combine to make the perfect warm-weather dip. If you've ever eaten a Gyro, this is that creamy deliciousness that's inside. And like the infomercials say - but wait, there's more! The best part about this is its versatility. You can dip veggies or pita into this goodness, eat it on top of a sandwich, use it as a sauce with grilled chicken - endless possibilities!

Also, 1 serving of this is less than 65 calories. That means you can eat this creamy, delicious dip guilt-free! So go pick up some cucumbers on your way home from work and make this, you won't regret it!
