herby tzatziki

Petition to stop buying store bought tzatziki!! This homemade version outshines any store bought alternative with its unmatched creaminess and fresh herbaceous flavor. Fresh dill brings a bright and tangy note, infusing the tzatziki with its subtle citrus flavor. The mint is totally optional, but in my opinion is the secret ingredient - so if you have some on hand don't skip it. This is one of my go to appetizers for entertaining because it is so easy, looks so impressive and the people go crazy for it.
