Tzatziki (aka Greek cucumber salad) and potato salads are two of my favourite summer dishes and it turns out that they are great together! This recipe is basically a potato salad mixed with cool and creamy tzatziki! The main ingredient is the potatoes and it’s mixed with a simple tzatziki sauce where half of the plain Greek yogurt is replaced with mayonnaise, which is a common dressing ingredient in potato salads. I like to add crumbled feta cheese to add saltiness and sliced green onions finish everything off. This tzatziki potato salad is the perfect summer side dish for any meal!
