Tzatziki is tradition Greek cucumber and yoghurt cold soup which is very similar to its Bulgarian counterpart 'Tarator'.
It can be served alone as a starter or a refreshing snack and it can also be used as a dip for pita bread or a sauce for pita sandwiches (wonderful with kebab meat and salad!).
The amount of garlic can be increased or reduced depending how much you like garlic, or if you have a date!
Suitable for vegetarians, quick to prepare and a delicious end result!
