Delicious and easy Veggie Greek Wrap with Homemade Tzatziki Sauce recipe. Makes a great dinner recipe and perfect leftovers for lunch the next day.
Tzatziki is a traditional Greek sauce that has a tangy flavour with a yogurt-base and fresh ingredients. It makes a great dip for pita bread, veggies and crackers (perfect for a holiday party!). I absolutely love it in this wrap with roasted chickpeas and other fresh veggies. SO SO good. I like to switch between a tortilla and lettuce wrap when making this recipe. The most important step when making tzatziki sauce is making sure to squeeze out the excess moisture in the grated cucumber. I used a cheesecloth to do this but you could use a fine mesh strainer as well.
