Tzatziki is a delectable condiment that also doubles as a dip. In Greece, it is traditionally served with souvlaki (grilled pork or chicken on skewers) or on gyro wrapped in pita. It is delicious on any grilled meat and even grilled vegetables. It also makes a satisfying dip with warm pita bread. We are happy to share meltémi’s version below. Warning: You will want to eat the whole bowl by yourself.
