Tzatziki Feta Spread

Instead of a traditional and classic Tzatziki sauce, we made a thicker dip with Feta. This straightforward recipe celebrates the season of fresh cucumbers and Mediterranean flavors, specifically feta cheese, greek yogurt, and fresh herbs. It’s made in minutes, and most of the preparation is made in a food chopper. If you don’t own one, don’t worry, a blender or an immersion blender will work too. Quick, delicious, and perfect for hot summer days.
