This tzatziki is sharp, zingy and creamy like a good tzat should be! I use this ALL THE TIME with falafel, roasted carrots and as a component of a gorge summer mezze, but I first made this recipe for inside a shredded chick’n gyro.
This tzatziki is adapted from a minimalist baker recipe, but tweaked ever so slightly to reduce the garlic and up the citrus vibes. IT’S SUMMER IN A SAUCE LADIES AND GREMLINS!
