Tzatziki

The best sauce to accompany almost all savory dishes is Tzatziki, pronounced as "zat" "zee" "kee". It's basically a savory yogurt dip with cucumber and packed with tons of fresh herbs and typically enjoyed with rice or in wraps. This is one of the first recipes I learned how to make, it's just that simple!
