If you like the Greek cuisine you will probably love this Tzatziki Salad (I've heard^^). I am honest I was really just looking for a quick salad recipe and and stumbled over this one here. And I am a huge fan of tzatziki. So I gave it a try and it was delicious and simple.
And I love simple things. I am not a fan of looking for hours for one ingredient when it appears - after 90 minutes - that I'll have to drive to another store into the next bigger city. Also, don't freak out if you don‘t have the time or simply don't want to make the tzatziki on your own - just cheat and get some at the store. You can still add some cucumber to make it taste freshly.
Most people I know are not a fan of green olives, so if you feel the same, use black olives instead. Enjoy!
