I have to share my new favorite find with you for this week’s Take-out Tuesday
Trader Joe’s Tzatzki Creamy Garlic Cucumber Dip
It is so loaded with thin, fresh, cucumber slices you will think you made it yourself…
Don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby? No problem!
You can also easily make your own by adding thinly sliced cucumber to any creamy dressing like Ranch, or make it from scratch with Greek yogurt and spices. Recipes included below
Trader Joe’s is technically called a dip, but it makes a great salad dressing or sandwich sauce. Don’t be put off by the label of creamy garlic, the garlic is subtle, not overwhelming
HHjr surprised me with a wonderful grilled chicken Tzatziki gyro after attending a very important dance recital last week
He grilled chicken, sliced it and put it on toasted naan bread, and of course you can substitute beef or lamb for the chicken
Top with Tzatzki Sauce, fresh lettuce
and diced tomato
Ok, are you starting to figure out that I forgot to take photos…
So I’m kinda faking it here, but you get the idea…
I had a busy busy week
This makes a fantastic lunch or dinner
Fresh, Easy, Heaven!
