Tzatziki Sauce

With summers abundance upon us, thought I'd share a great recipe for all those cucumbers and dill you've got!

Tzatziki is a sauce served with several Greek and Turkish foods. Made with strained yogurt (or Greek yogurt) and served cold, it also makes a great dip for veggies. You can make your own yogurt and strain it or purchase store bought Greek yogurt.

I made a fabulous lunch today inspired by a recent post by one of my favorite bloggers Joy Cho. Avocado, egg and tzatziki on toasted sourdough. Delicious!
