With summer here, Indian raita/ Chhas is such a refreshing and cool addition in the meal. Tzatziki is very similar to Cucumber Raita. It is served as a dip with pita bread/ chips or flat bread. I like most versions of it. But it amazes me how something healthy can be turned into unhealthy! If you go to buy Tzatziki in grocery stores and read the nutrition label, you will see lot of oil, preservatives and flavor enhancers that just doesn't feel right. And it is easy to make the healthy version with basic ingredients from your kitchen. I tried it and tastes soooo good! Add it to your menu of dips for your chips or appetizers. It can be prepared in advance or add it as a protein source in your regular meals. You can also use it as spread on your toast or in a sandwich just like the one I made called Grilled Vegetables Flat Bread Sandwich.
