When I ended up in the ER for stomach pain my senior year of college I didn’t know that six years later I’d be relatively pain-free. I out gluten, high-acid foods, and red meat, and started consistently buying stomach-safe foods like broccoli, sweet potatoes, and chicken, and my first thought was Is this what everyone feels like all the time?
Those foods swaps genuinely changed my life — and now I’m on a (semi) permanent anti-inflammatory diet that features lots of whole foods and only the occasional coffee (hence the “semi” permanence). And an absolute must-have in my fridge these days? My homemade, 3-ingredient tzatziki sauce. Give it a try and tell me it’s not the perfect topping for Mediterranean bowls!

InstructionsGrate your cucumber into your bowl: I like to use at least half the cucumber if not the whole thing!Next you’ll want to get rid of all the water: I dump out the liquid in the bowl then soak up any extra with a paper towel. Don’t be afraid to squeeze the cucumber out!Mix in your Greek yogurt: I prefer equal parts yogurt and cucumber, but you can play with the ratio until it’s a mix you like. That’s the best part about homemade recipes! Add in your lemon juice: I prefer to taste the lemon so I love to really add it in but you can keep it light, and even mix in a little salt or garlic powder for a different edge.Mix it all together and you’re good to go! I store mine in a mason jar in the fridge and it’s ready for me whenever I need it.
