Tzatziki Sauce

Hey all (: Guess who’s back for good? THIS CHICK. Again, really sorry that I’ve been an absentee blogger for the past….well for quite a while….but I have decided that I’m going to keep this blog up for good. (: I will use this blog as a continuation for my IB CAS hours (the more advanced version of why I actually created this blog), and I’m super SUPER excited, and I hope that you are too!

Okay, let me stop babbling, or I’ll never stop, haha (: Today, I will be sharing with you my own take on a Tzatziki sauce. Over the summer I went to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and with the Chicken Souvlaki, served us a DELICIOUS Greek salad, and some other delicious Greek yummies plus the most delicious tzatziki I had ever tried in my life, so when I got home I was determined to figure out how to make it. I looked for recipes that sounded right to the actual recipe, but I couldn’t find it, so I figured that I would just make my own! Initially, I made it so I could take more interesting things for my school lunches, and it was absolutely delicious. Now I’m just putting it on everything! (: It’s a perfect sauce for pitas and gyros, and a fantastic dip for pretty much everything- including pretzels mind you! (: You can definitely reduce or add ingredients to make it more of your style, this is just how I made it! (: I hope that you enjoy it!
