My tips and tricks
In Greece you’ll definitely have some warm corn bread to tzatziki. If you don’t find corn bread, you can use some fresh bread made from white wheat flour or make toasts from it as I sometimes do. You can increase or decrease the amount of garlic to your taste; the main thing is do not remove it completely. Garlic and yogurt are the foundation of tzatziki. And at the same time, garlic is useful against cold and vampires 😊
