Radish and Cucumber Tzatziki

Radish and Cucumber Tzatziki

This is a great spring dip for pita chips or vegetables. This looks like a lot of steps, but they are all quite simple and quick. Allowing the dip to sit for an hour before serving will allow the flavors to combine and improve the flavors.
