Something we Floridians need in our lives right now. It’s currently November and we are still wearing flip-flops and tank tops in 80-degree weather. So, this refreshing and cool tzatziki sauce comes into play, my friends.

We’re talking 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this 5 minute greek tzatziki sauce​

. It is traditionally paired with lamb or other types of meat in Greek food. Momma loves her some Greek food, and this 5-minute tzatziki sauce fits the bill of loving all things Greek, baby! But the uses for tzatziki sauce surpass just Greek food. It’s cool, refreshing, and very versatile for all types of foods.

It’s also something that kids will love, enjoy, and slurp right up. 

Suitable Pairings

• Grilled Meats: Perfect alongside grilled lamb, chicken, or beef kebabs.
• Wraps and Sandwiches: A delightful addition to gyros or wraps for added flavor and moisture.
• Veggies and Chips: Serve as a dip for fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers for a refreshing snack.
• Salads: Drizzle over salads for a creamy dressing alternative that enhances freshness.

Tips for Quick Ingredient Handling

1. Use Pre-Grated Ingredients: Purchase pre-grated cucumbers or garlic paste to save time.
2. Select Plain Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which helps achieve the right texture without extra straining.
3. Prepare in Bulk: Make a larger batch and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, so it's ready whenever you need it.
4. Chill Before Serving: If time permits, allow the sauce to chill for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
