Zucchini Tzatziki
A summer twist on classic Greek tzatziki using grated zucchini, Greek yogurt, lemon and basil for a creamy dip.
In this spin on cool and creamy Greek tzatziki sauce, zucchini takes the place of cucumbers to help make use of summer's usual glut and lend mellow sweetness. Like cucumbers, zucchini contains a lot of water, so you'll want to drain and squeeze it dry after grating it for the smoothest, thickest results. Basil lends extra seasonal flair, though more traditional dill or mint, or other fresh herbs like oregano, parsley, cilantro or even fennel fronds can be used instead or in combination. Serve it with grilled chicken or salmon, on burgers, or as a dip for pita chips or crudités.
