Go Greek!

Greek food is so delicious and flavorful. This particular recipe is low in fat if you use a low fat greek yogurt. Try this with a side of rice and and easy greek salad made from chopped seeded cucumber, tomatoes, feta cheese, and purple onion. The Tzatziki is nothing short of addicting, make a double batch and enjoy it as a dipping sauce for your veggies and g-free pretzels.
