Zesty Tzatziki

If you love Mediterranean food like I do, then you know that tzatziki is a staple dipping sauce when eating a gyro, falafel, or chicken kebobs. However, the calories and fat adds up- making it not so appealing. However, this recipe solves that problem, allowing for spoonfuls and spoonfuls to be enjoyed! The secret ingredient that makes it healthier? None other than non-fat Greek yogurt! The taste and flavor is still there, guilt free.

Ingredients:
- 1/3 Cup Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- Zest of Cucumber
- Half of a Lemon
- 1 Teaspoon of Dill

Directions:
- In a small bowl, add the yogurt
- Zest cucumber in the yogurt bowl, as much or as little- depends on your taste. I used about 1/4 of the cucumber
- Juice half of the lemon in the bowl
- Sprinkle the dill in and mix
- That's it!

Here is a link to a healthy falafel recipe that pairs perfectly with the tzatziki, made by yours truly!
