Tzatziki, a yogurt based sauce from the Mediterranean, is creamy, tangy, and herby, and the perfect accompaniment to a vegetable-packed pita sandwich. You can buy tzatziki premade in the refrigerated section of your grocery store or you can make your own. In this recipe, we use premade meatballs for a flavorful protein that requires little preparation. Cucumber, red onion, tomato, and lettuce add freshness and crunchiness to this flavorful sandwich.
