Roast Zucchini Tzatziki Dip

A roasted zucchini dip in tzatziki style with greek yogurt, garlic, lemon, and plenty of fresh dill.

Tzatziki is a greek style sauce made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon, and dill; it’s cool, creamy and oh so good! This is a slightly different take on it using zucchini instead of cucumber. You could make a zucchini tzatziki using fresh shredded zucchini but this dip uses roasted zucchini that’s pureed into the yogurt along with all of the other ingredients. This recipe is as simple as roasting the zucchini and finishing in the food processor! You can use this as a dip for chips, crackers, vegetables, etc, or as a sauce in sandwiches, etc.
