What is tzatziki?

This dish is perfect as a sauce or dip and tastes especially delicious when paired with these Shawarma Kebabs. It’s wildly versatile and is great for a wide audience.
The tastiest keto tzatziki
One of my fave low-carb recipes of all time, this tzatziki is SO yummy when used as a dip. I love to eat it with veggies such as carrots or celery, or spread atop some low-carb crackers!
Another option for serving tzatziki is to eat it over your favorite protein, like beef, lamb, or chicken. It works incredibly well as a sauce, adding TONS of juicy flavor. Spoon a dollop atop shake and bake pork chops or air fryer tempeh, and enjoy!

Storing your low-carb tzatziki
If you wind up with some leftover tzatziki (though, let’s be real… the chances are slim), you can store it in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to store it an airtight container to maintain ultimate flavor!
Some people find that “second day” tzatziki is the best, because it allows the flavors to truly “set in.”
No matter if you eat it the first day, second day, or third day, I know you’ll love it!
