Best Greek Tzatziki Sauce recipe

Leave a comment

This is the Best Greek Tzatziki Sauce recipe ever. It is fresh, homemade and has dill & mint in it which gives it such depth of flavor.

This is my go to tzatziki recipe, it does not compare to anything you could buy in the store. 

Kind like spinach dip, you do not want the store bought you want homemade. Same goes for tzatziki, it just tastes fresh homemade and real. 

So please forget the store bought kind because this stuff is in a whole other caliber. 

YUM!

Tzatziki is a greek sauce that is made from thick Greek yogurt, fresh english cucumbers, fresh garlic, olive oil, and dill. Some people also add mint. 

I add both!! Why not? It is sooooo good. 

This tzatziki is sure to be one of the best varieties you have ever tasted.

TRUST ME!

It goes great with just about any Greek meal and it’s a very very easy to make!!

 

Simply add in your grated and chopped vegetables, stir and you’re ready to eat it!

Serve it with chicken, lamb or just about any other type of Greek Main dish.

 

Eat as much as you want, because it’s super healthy for you too. 

And because of the Greek Yogurt, it also has a ton of protein. 

MAN OH MAN, THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF!

For best results chill it in an airtight container for up to 2 hours or more before serving.

The longer it chills in the fridge the thicker it becomes and the flavors really set in.

Then all you are simply wanting to do from their is remove the chops and generously on both sides prior to cooking with salt and pepper. 

Searing them in a non stick frying pan on both sides till cooked. Once cooked remove and plate, then place the sauce in the pan and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes and pour on top of the chops.

Be sure to use ample butter when frying the chops, which will help to sear them properly give it it’s depth of flavor while still keeping the chops moist and juicy.

Dill Pickle Potato Salad

Leave a comment

This Dill Pickle Potato Salad is made with garlicky dill pickles and it’s juices, egg, russet potatoes, mayonnaise, plain yogurt, dijon mustard and fresh dill. 

Let me tell you, this recipe is a sure WINNER!

This salad can be thrown together in no time at all.

I brought this to a potluck recently and obviously did not make enough to feed the 10 people there.

It was gone in no time at all, so if you’re wanting to prepare this for a group of 10 or more double it up, it’s easy to do so anyway.

Wanting to serve a larger crowd? Simply double up the ingredients! 

To make this vegetarian omit the mayo and eggs and use a vegetarian mayo.

Personally I like using Hellman’s mayo, it’s my favorite!
