Homemade Salad Dressing … Easy as 1, 2, 3

Featured Recipe: Tzatziki with Pita Chips

Last month I went to a nice restaurant with my sisters and friends before a play. I ordered a Greek Salad plate.

Just remember, the flavors in the Tzatziki only get better if you make it the day before you plan to use it. It keeps for 4 days in the refrigerator.
