Tzatziki sauce

Tzatziki sauce is awesome. If anyone knows how to properly pronounce it, I’d love to be enlightened. I just usually call it yogurt sauce. Hubby knows what I’m talking about when I say that. This sauce goes with a variety of things and you can even just dip veggies in it.


Dill is probably my second favorite herb behind Cilantro. I have a somewhat obsessive love with cilantro. But dill isn’t as versatile in my mind, so we rarely have it in the house. Some day I’ll have an herb garden. First I have to learn how to get our cats (well actually it’s just Nemo) not to eat any plant that is in the house. But I digress. So I love dill and put a lot in this sauce. Feel free to put however much you like.

    Love these, I could eat the whole batch myself. So much healthier than the boxed crackers, that have all those ingredients I can’t pronounce!

      I completely agree. We avoid processed foods as much as possible. I was glad to find a snack that Hubby loves so much and is *so* easy to make at home.

    These cheez its are stunning looking! They must be very cheesy and crispy! I really need to make this for my husband soon!

    • beantownbaker — January 17th, 2013 @ 4:51 pm

      They definitely are! Hubby convinced me to make more this weekend already 🙂

    looks delicious – how do you think this would work with other cheeses? I’m thinkin’ pepper jack…

    • beantownbaker — January 18th, 2013 @ 2:29 pm

      I would think other cheeses would work pretty well. I wouldn’t use anything too soft, but pepper jack should work. Let me know how it goes if you try it!

    I HATE pickles. They are awful, but I definitely love cheese crackers. I especially love white cheddar cheez-its 😉

    • beantownbaker — January 23rd, 2013 @ 2:27 pm

      You should definitely make these then – they’re seriously so good!

    • beantownbaker — January 23rd, 2013 @ 8:34 pm

      I don’t even eat my french fries that touched the pickle at restaurants. And I LOVE french fries!

    I have always thought making your own crackers would be too much work. Your version looks straightforward and delightful. I’m sure the taste is worth all the effort!

    • beantownbaker — January 23rd, 2013 @ 10:27 pm

      I agree, it was definitely much easier than I would have guessed. My sister, who never bakes, has already made these twice!

    I don’t like fries that touched pickles either! Not only do they then taste like a pickle, but they get soggy and I prefer crunchy fries!

    Um… Cheez-Its are one food I cannot have around. Once I open the box, I pretty much eat the whole thing. I love this homemade version!

    Hello! I am more of a baker than a cook, so I was very nervous about what to make for my boyfriend’s Superbowl party! Found this recipe, and just made it! SUPER easy! I am really impressed by how much it tastes like a cheez-it… but better! I like this recipe and hope to try it with other cheeses! Thanks!

    PS. I did use the silicon baking mat and that made it a lot easier. Good point to follow!

    • beantownbaker — February 3rd, 2013 @ 9:45 pm

      So glad you enjoyed them!! I’ve already made them a handful of times with various cheeses and spices thrown in. They’ve all been delicious.

      I think any cheese that comes in a block would be fine for this recipe.
