Serving Suggestions

Note

• This tzatziki is a great Greek dish that goes perfectly with lamb.
• It has simple fresh flavours that cut oily food with a nice acidic finish.
• It works as a great dip with crudites and can also be great poured over lamb or chicken kebabs.
• If this recipe is a little too wet you can strain it over a bowl in some clean muslin or a new thin dishclothåÊthat has been rinsed in clean water.
• I find if the Tzatziki is best left overnight for the garlic flavours to develop.
