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.

    Homemade bbq sauce sounds great! I’ve never attempted to make it at home but it doesn’t look too hard. Thanks for the recipe!

    This sounds great and I will have to try it. I made BBQ chicken quesadillas for lunch and this would have been great to use for that. Next time I will use this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

    I’ve made homemade BBQ sauce and bottled has nothing on homemade. It’s been a while and BBQ season is here. I’ll have to give your recipe a try.

    Ashley – We store our BBQ sauce in the fridge and it has been fine for a few months. It never goes bad before we use it up.
