MEDITERRANEAN (TZATZIKI) CUCUMBER SALAD

Mediterranean (Tzatziki) Cucumber Salad image

A light and refreshing "salad" - the combination of cucumbers, yogurt, and mint can be enjoyed alongside any meal. The "tzatziki" sauce is a staple of the Greek community, but it is also popular under different names across the Mediterranean and Middle East. This sauce (without the cucumbers) can also make a delicious dip for any meat or vegetables or can be used in a wrap or sandwich.My personal favorite way to eat this Cucumber Salad is as a fresh, cold side dish alongside a hot summer barbecue. :) Bon Appétit!
