"Tzatziki ( prononced either za-DZEE-kee or dza-DZEE-kee, with emphasis on the second syllable) is a classic Greek sauce served with chicken, beef or lamb. Use Tzatiki in place of any condiment to finish sandwiches, wraps or salads. This is a lower fat, higher protein alternative to add zest to your favorite recipe. Enjoy!"

During the taste test Kid Kritics had lots of comments about this dip such as, "Looked strange then I was surprised – It was pretty good. Really good … one of the best dips I’ve ever had!
Smells like Ranch Dip."
Small mixing bowl, cutting board and knife, paper towels

2 Tbs. dill, fresh, chopped
1 tsp. sea salt
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
