I believe my favorite part of summer food is all the fresh vegetables that concoct into the most amazing salads! Tzatziki is a staple in my home all summer long. I grew up eating it with my meat and fish the way many Americans put ketchup on theirs. Hah! Mine is definitely better!!
Make up a batch and keep it in the fridge for a few days. Have it on your kabobs, grilled chicken, roasted eggplant, lamb, or veggie kabobs. We always had it on Kibbeh, a Syrian/Lebanese meat dish made of ground lamb and bulgar wheat, stuffed with pine nuts and other yummy things.
