Tips
Make a double batch of the Tzatziki so you have leftovers!
Use crushed fresh garlic or garlic powder (not garlic salt).
Keep refrigerated until you are ready to transfer to another bowl. You'll want to stir it again before serving.
I like to serve fresh Tzatziki with my hot cooked stuffed grape leaves as well. It's a great dip or spread, especially for guests not accustomed to Mediterranean or Middle Eastern foods.
Canned stuffed vegan grape leaves can be found at most Mediterranean or Middle Eastern markets.
