tzatziki | dairy-free cucumber herb dip

One of the treasured gifts of traveling is experiencing new food based on each destination’s culture, landscape, weather, location, and people. I loved tzatziki in Greece for it’s cool, crisp, refreshing addition to any meal.

I used my favorite dairy and sugar-free coconut yogurt from Anita’s to make the most delicious tzatziki tip, which I also use as dressing on salads, or to spice up simple cooked grains.

Try it and let me know what you think!
