Easy Tzatziki Dip | 5DollarDinners.com

If you want a quick escape to the Greek isles, then whip up this dip, take a few bites and whisk away in your imagination. Visualize the picturesque blue turquoise ocean, the brilliant sun shining all around, as you enjoy this creamy and delightful snack!

Use a low fat/low cal Greek yogurt to keep the calories down on this one…you’re going to want to because it’s definitely a ‘you can’t just eat a few bites’ kinda dip.

Consider yourself warned.

This dip is perfectly fresh, light, delicious and would be a fantastic appetizer for Thanksgiving Day! (If you’re like our family and enjoy your feast in the middle of the afternoon, this is perfect for when you get a hunger pang around noon when you normally eat lunch! It’ll cure that hunger pang, but won’t fill you up too much either!)
