Greek Tzatziki
Iva
This recipe is very easy, quick and tasty. It's kind of a dip, kind of a salad. It's definately appetizer and it is served before the main course. In Grece, local people like to drink Uzo (local alcoholic fenugreek drink) with this salad. The ingredients are for 3 servings but if you invite guests, you can double the quantity, if you prefer. This is Vegetarian, Keto and Low Carb recipe.
