I came up with this simplest granola a couple of weeks ago. Our family was missing some breakfast alternatives and I thought we hadn’t have good old granola — or müsli like my husband calls it even it’s baked — for a very long time mainly because there simply don’t exist worthy alternatives for healthy granola.

Tzatziki

This is how I’ve made my tzatziki for years. The classic simple and tasty Greek-style sauce or dip goes well with almost any meat or fish.

I also like to serve tzatziki as salad dressing. For example, simple salad consisting of iceberg lettuce and watermelon tastes heavenly when topped with a dollop of tzatziki.

Also with these Tasty Feta Burgers tzatziki is like the icing on the cake! (Or so…)
