Tzatziki
A Greek staple for many dishes, this Tzatziki sauce offers a refreshing and tangy flavor to cooked meats. The removal of water from both the Greek yogurt and cucumbers results in a nice, thick sauce. Layer it on a lamb burger, pair it with falafels and gyros or use it as a dip for a vegetable platter. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
