How to Make Savory Tzatziki-Style Greek Yogurt
Try this savory twist on a breakfast yogurt parfait! Tzatziki is a traditional Greek sauce made with yogurt and cucumbers. This "deconstructed" tzatziki yogurt takes the traditional Mediterranean flavors and turns them into an elegant, savory breakfast packed with protein and light on carbs. Eat it with a spoon or scoop it up with whole-grain pita wedges.
