Tzatziki Salad Dressing is a Greek Side dish served with all the yummy snacks and has great importance in Greek Cuisine. From Greek cuisine, I learned that I can serve this popular sauce with bread, with appetizers, and even with grilled chicken or vegetables. Whenever I make grilled chicken or vegetables, I love to serve this sauce with it.
When for the first time in my life, I made this Tzatziki Salad dressing, I made it for my formal guests. They loved it so much that I added the recipe to my cookbook and I make it now and then. The Tzatziki salad dressing is super classy to serve alongside your platter.
