Tzatziki

Tzatziki is a wonderful and refreshing dip made with yogurt, drained cucumber, olive oil, fresh herbs (usually mint or dill), garlic, lemon juice and salt. It’s a refreshing and delicious dip that can be served with your favourite bread, snack or even grilled meat.  We enjoy serving them with Zahra’s Kitchen Lamb Kibbeh balls
