Snack Attack: Tzatziki, No Longer Greek to Me
I recently spent some time in Greece and I literally lived on Tzatziki and pita the entire time I was there.
Convinced it was going to keep the memories alive at home, I have been making a healthier version of this tasty Greek style dip.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of non-fat yogurt
- 2 large cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or 2 garlic cloves)
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- A handful of dill (or if you're like me and don't like dill you can leave this step out) Put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mixed well.
