Although this is a Mediterranean staple, we love to have Tzatziki sauce on hand at all times. Simple ingredients combined with simple cooking steps makes it easy to whip this up in minutes.
Kitchen tools you might need.
I like to keep things simple and throw everything in a mini food processor like this one. But can also whip things up by hand. Be sure to have a good airtight container to keep your sauce fresh for as long as possible.
Try it out with our Greek Chicken Kabob recipe.
