Authentic Greek Tzatziki Sauce

Did you know that we sell Gyro meat at Harter House on Republic Road?

A Gyro is a traditional Greek sandwich that is made with beef and lamb, seasoned with zesty spices, thinly sliced and piled high onto a fluffy pita bread.  Add Onions, tomato, feta cheese and of course fresh Tzatziki  (Zaat-Zee-Kee)

This is the best Tzatziki recipe I have found. 

I think you will agree!
