WE ARE BACK FOR OUR 5TH SEASON!

Just As Tangy and Delicious as The Classic, but this one’s a Little Different

Ingredients• 3 medium zucchinis, ends

removed• 2 scallions, chopped• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt• 2 tablespoons freshly

squeezed lemon juice• 2 tablespoons fresh dill,

chopped• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin

olive oil• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder• kosher salt and freshly

ground pepper, to taste

Directions• Take your zucchinis and, in a

food processor or with a grater, grate them into small shreds.

• If there’s excess moisture, wrap zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze out in the sink, before transferring to a large bowl.

• Add scallions and fold in Greek yogurt and dill.

• Season tzatziki with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

• Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until ready to serve.

When you need a cool and refreshing appetizer - it just never fails to deliver! Normally, this Greek classic is made up of strained yogurt, cucumber, dill and lemon juice.This version is a bit different from the traditional. Cucumbers can add an awful lot of moisture and it can sometimes be a pain to drain them and make sure that they don’t make the final result too watery. Because of this, we thought we’d try switching out the main vegetable for...zucchini!

Try making tzatziki both ways for two tasty treats for summer entreating .
