Have you ever heard of Tzatziki? (pronounced Tad-zee-key) It's a Greek yogurt sauce/dip with cucumber, garlic, and mint that's often served with gyros or pita bread. I'm a big fan of using Tzatziki when I burn out my love for hummus (as tough as that is). I put it on sandwiches, dip veggies in it, and even smother it over eggs in the morning. Don't give me that face, you know you want to try it now..
I thought it would be fun to put a Greek spin with my love for Tzatziki and make a potato salad with it. Summer cookouts just aren't complete without something on the grill, baked beans, and potato salad. This version is a refreshing and healthy twist on the classic. I used fresh dill and lots of garlic which brought so much flavor to this light dish.
