A huge thank you to our friend Ted Pappas of Ted’s Everyday Eats for inviting us to his kitchen for another incredible recipe!
From Ted — Tzatziki is a creamy, garlicky cucumber spread. It is so versatile that it can be used to dip marinated chicken or pork into, as a topping for Gyro sandwiches, or even strong enough to stand alone as a spread for fresh bread, pita, or pita chips. My mom, Nancy, had the most amazing tzatziki recipe when I was growing up. Her recipe for this dish is my favorite and goes perfectly in all of the scenarios above.
Kefi Life® Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cold extracted from 100% Koroneiki olives grown and harvested in the Kalamata region of Southern Peloponnese, Greece. Kefi L!fe EVOO is Packed with antioxidants and flavor.
It is characterized by its aromas of green grass, artichoke, and sweet almond with a mild peppery finish.
