A huge thank you to our friend Ted Pappas of Ted’s Everyday Eats for inviting us to his kitchen for another incredible recipe!
From Ted — Tzatziki is a creamy, garlicky cucumber spread. It is so versatile that it can be used to dip marinated chicken or pork into, as a topping for Gyro sandwiches, or even strong enough to stand alone as a spread for fresh bread, pita, or pita chips. My mom, Nancy, had the most amazing tzatziki recipe when I was growing up. Her recipe for this dish is my favorite and goes perfectly in all of the scenarios above.
