Ronnie's Notes
Tzadziki is a wonder. It’s side dish with salads or egg dishes. It’s a terrific dip with crudités, chips, or crackers. And it’s a flavorful, tangy sauce that brightens the taste of grilled vegetable pitas. Think about Tzadziki when you’re having company or when you’re looking for a healthy snack.
