Easy Carrot Tzatziki

4.50 from 4 votes
In the tradition of the Mediterranean diet, dips and spreads hold a special place. They are part of the meze culture found throughout the entire Mediterranean. In Greek cooking, the number of dips is endless and many are based on Greek yogurt. I get so many requests for how to make tzatziki, the classic Greek yogurt-cucumber-garlic dip, and most people are surprised to see how easy it is. This take on a classic tzatziki is an easy and healthy way to impress guests and the perfect example of how to “think” Mediterranean diet with Mediterranean ingredients that are actually everyday products you can find at your local supermarket. On that, the sea fennel, garlic puree, and olive oil used in this recipe are all available online, but you can replace the sea fennel with everyday capers if you like, too! Enjoy this easy, healthy Mediterranean diet snack with friends and embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle anywhere!
