Greek Yogurt Dip Tzatziki with pita chips.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love Greek food, you'll love this creamy and tangy Tzatziki recipe. It's full of garlic flavor. Cucumbers and dill add a fresh flavor to the sauce. Combining vinegar and Greek yogurt adds a little tang. We served this Tzatziki with pita bread, but it would be delicious alongside grilled meat too.
