So,  this last weekend when I gave out jars of my Tzatziki sauce as Christmas gifts and the rave reviews kept coming in, I knew I had to make the recipe available to everyone so you can all have a taste of Agrinio.  I just posted the recipe in my Etsy shop for you Give my recipe a try this Holiday season, as it is the perfect dish to take to gatherings.  🌟 καλά Χριστούγεννα! 🌟 (Merry Christmas from Agrinio, Greece)
