Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki is a classic Greek sauce that feels cool, calm, and deeply refreshing. Creamy yogurt forms a smooth base while cucumber brings lightness and crunch. Garlic adds just enough bite to wake up the flavors without overpowering them. Fresh herbs keep everything balanced and clean. It’s a sauce meant to support the meal, not steal the spotlight. Simple, steady, and endlessly useful at the table.
