Tzatziki Vinaigrette

Tzatziki is a classic condiment found in Greek cooking. This recipe takes those familiar ingredients and flavors and turns them into a salad dressing. The keys to this recipe are the use of fresh herbs and feta cheese. The herbs bring a bright garden flavor and aroma and the feta provides a salty creamy punch to counter the sharp tang of the lemon and vinegar. Traditionally made with dill, this can also be made with mint, parsley, or even cilantro – find your favorite!

8 oz. Greek yogurt, plain
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup English cucumber, diced very fine
2 lemons, juiced
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh dill or mint (1 TBSP if using dried herbs)
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients together. Chill for at least 30 minutes, up to several hours for deeper flavor. Can be made ahead of time.
