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
Tzatziki is a high protein and absolutely delicious dip! Everyone will be impressed and it is so simple to make.
