Tzatziki Sauce
This Greek tzatziki sauce gets its fresh and tangy flavor from yogurt and cucumbers. It’s famous for being the official topping of Greek gyros, yet it’s also delicious on other meats and veggies.
It’s a fun sauce to experiment with, especially in summer when fresh cucumbers are at their best.
This sauce is the perfect accompaniment to Greek gyros. Here too, you can experiment with flavor profiles that you love. If you’re a garlic fan, add an extra clove. Mint is flourishing at the time fresh cucumbers come to market. Many authentic tzatziki sauce recipes have mint as an ingredient. I love oregano, so that will always be in my sauce.
There are so many beautiful ways to use the leftover dip—what a perfect topping for a summer meal of baked potatoes with a grilled steak. Serve as a dip with your overabundance of cherry tomatoes. Grilled fish? Let’s spoon on some tzatziki!
Have fun with this fresh and inviting sauce.

Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
