  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (OR 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Pinch kosher salt and ground black pepper

Notes

“Tzatziki, sometimes called gyro sauce, is so much more than that. Its flavors of fresh cucumber and dill provide a cool tart taste, and the yogurt pairs great with an array of foods. I like it with lamb chops and as a general dipping sauce for raw vegetables and pita, as well as cooked zucchini chips. It is also a healthy option with its use of fresh garlic and the probiotics found in the yogurt.” - Lloyd George, Chef
