Zutziki

Cool, creamy, and full of fresh flavor, zutziki is a delightful twist on the classic Greek tzatziki. Instead of cucumber, this version uses sautéed zucchini, giving the dip a slightly sweeter, softer character while still keeping the refreshing tang of yogurt, garlic, and dill. Perfect as a dip with warm pita, a side for grilled meats, or a fresh spread on sandwiches, this simple recipe brings a touch of Mediterranean sunshine to your table.
