Tzatziki Sauce
If you love gyros, then you have encountered this sauce. This is a sauce or condiment of Greek origin, it is perfect for gyros, sandwiches, or fish dishes. I used this to accompany a meal that included fish fingers and thought of how nice it would be to have this tart sauce on the side. The tart from the lemon juice and the freshness from the herbs are a good combination to bring this sauce to life. The beauty about making your sauces is that you can customize them to your liking in terms of flavoring and spicing and you can control what goes in them. The name should not scare you either as it may sound complex but very easy to make so get ready to make some tzatziki
