Dill Tzatziki
These cakes are nothing without a good sauce or dressing. This dill tzatziki is perfect because it’s light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I typically eat these cakes over a bed of lettuce and shredded cabbage and use this tzatziki as a salad dressing. If you want it to act as more of a dip, add little to no water.
