Tzatziki

Tzatziki is a traditional Greek recipe, and it goes so well in so many different meals. I love serving it with cooked meat as it’s light, tangy and refreshing so it offers a really nice contrast. My favourite part of this recipe, which you won’t always find in traditional tzatziki is to add lemon zest along the with lemon juice, it’s so good!
