#61 Tzatziki Sauce- Tangy and Sweet

In most of the local Greek restaurants I visited this sauce is used as a dip, with lamb, gyros, souvlaki or fried potatoes. Tzatziki is the most extraordinary dip-- a luscious delight best used as an accompaniment to any meat, undoubtedly good with my Lamb and Chicken Kebabs. Depending on the portion of sauce I make, I enjoy it as a dressing for salads and also with lettuce and spring onion salads.  Each time I whip up this sauce, I make sure that I have plenty leftover in my fridge to use as a dip for veggies and pita chips.
