EatingWell: Tzatziki and cucumber, a refreshing summer combo

Sara Haas, RDN, LDN, EatingWell on

Published in Variety Menu

Tzatziki cucumber slices offer a refreshing, quick snack with just three ingredients. The crispness of the cucumbers complements the creamy, tangy tzatziki, creating a light and flavorful bite. For the best texture, try using English cucumbers, which have a thin skin that doesn't need peeling, keeping the prep minimal.
