Super Simple Tzatziki

I am obsessed with tzatziki, like I could just eat in by the spoonful. It is so fresh, flavorful, and a great way to get protein in. You can use it as a vegetable dip, pita dip, thin it out as a dressing, put it on gyros, or top it on my Mediterranean stuffed bell pepper recipe!

Ingredients and Benefits:

Cucumber: High in fiber and water to help digestion and reduce inflammation

Greek yogurt: I purchase pasture-raised and grass-fed when I can for higher levels of omega 3s. Greek yogurt is high in protein, probiotics, and calcium.

Fresh dill: Rich in flavonoids and antioxidants to reduce inflammation

Extra-virgin olive oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and antioxidants to reduce inflammation

Lemon juice: Rich in vitamin C, folic acid, and minerals for skin health

Garlic: Helps protect cells from oxidative damage, supports the immune system, and can help reduce blood pressure
