Homemade Tzatziki Sauce is a combination of Greek yogurt and cucumber with a few seasoning. It is fantastic on pitas, salads, and used as a dip.

While I enjoy a good Greek-inspired dish, not everyone in the family likes Greek food. However, my homemade tzatziki sauce while heavy Greek in flavor allows everyone to add as much or little as they like.

Tzatziki is great on steak pitas or chicken pitas. And it is also delicious when used as a dip for veggies. I also love it on top of a Greek salad!
