Homemade Tzatziki Dip

Fresh cut veggies are a lunch staple around here and I’m always looking for great dips to accompany them. Tzatziki has always been a favorite and is delicious when made from scratch.

My current lunch obsession is a pile of baby spinach leaves, a handful of raw vegetables and a dollop of tzatziki dip. The vegetables can be dipped in the tzatziki as finger food and the remaining dip is just enough to dress the spinach leaves for a quick salad. The perfect combination when multitasking through lunch. Using small cups of plain greek yogurt – see why Tillamook Farmstyle Greek is my favorite – makes manageable portions so that you don’t feel obligated to eat a gallon of dip throughout the week. Of course you can always double the recipe if expecting company!
