"My husband and I love the fresh-tasting combination of lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil that is so prevalent in Greek cuisine. Inspired by these flavors, I created this recipe. We serve it alongside a Greek salad of chunked tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese. Tzatziki is a traditional Greek yogurt-based sauce flavored with lemon, garlic, and crisp cucumbers." - Lindsay Evans, Twisp, Washington
