Lets say you want to cook something Mediterranean and you are not sure what. This can help you, a pasta with tzatziki, the most famous sauce in Greece.
Obviously, i think not many Italians will appreciate this but its ok. I guess they will have a similar variation on small part of the country.
Being in Greece during summer, means that you are trying to find food that is healthy, fresh and have that summer feeling on that. I don’t think you can find something better than that.
Even if you can have it as a main meal, this can be used as a side salad i guess as long as it is served cold. Super easy to make!
