Ingredients:
– 1 cup Greek yogurt: This creamy base is rich in protein and probiotics.
– 1 cucumber: Grated and drained, it adds a refreshing crunch and hydration.

3. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some chopped fresh dill or mint for added flavor.
4. Chill: Let your tzatziki sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
5. Serve: Warm up some pita bread, cut it into wedges, and serve it alongside your creamy tzatziki. It’s perfect for dipping!
