Tzatziki Sauce I a must have condiment for gyro or shawarma pita sandwiches. Add plenty of cool cucumber and dill flavors to your sandwiches or dippable raw vegetables.

I have made this recipe using fresh dill and I think the dried dill weed produces a stronger dill flavor. I 100% recommend this recipe over any other tzatziki sauce recipe I’ve seen and/or tried.
