    Once upon a time if you had asked me my favorite food, you might have gotten sour cream as the answer. I know it sounds crazy for a "healthy" food blogger, but I have a deep love for all things creamy.

    Luckily for me though the years I've learned some hacks to get my sour cream consumption under control.

    Like today's recipe for Tzatziki Sauce, most of them involve Greek Yogurt.

    Tzatziki Sauce

    I am not the hugest fan of plain Greek yogurt in its native state...but give me a few minutes with it and I'm always singing another tune. It is so easy to transform into a delicious sauce regardless of what type of dish you are making.

    You have probably had Tzatziki sauce before, very likely on a Gyro. (My favorite!)

    But it isn't just for Gyros! I love it as a dip for raw veggies, on any kind of wraps and soon I'll be sharing some zucchini fritters that it pairs beautifully with.

    I typically shred my cucumber because I'm not a fan of big cucumber chunks, but feel free to dice yours into larger pieces if you want.
