Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 English cucumber (peeled and finely diced)
  • 6 pitas (or flatbreads)
  • Fresh veggies: romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dill weed, lemon juice, diced cucumber, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
