Tzatziki Sauce with Fresh Cucumber, Dill and Garlic


Quick and easy, this cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with pita bread. This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Other herbs can be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). Enjoy!
