Tzatziki sauce has become of my favorite condiments! I am always trying to find new things to make with it! The tzatziki sauce is a zippy Greek condiment usually served with gyros made from Yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic, and lemon juice. You can purchase Tzatziki sauce, but I think homemade is best. Mixing Tzatziki sauce with hard-boiled eggs creates a delicious Greek-inspired meal that comes together quickly for lunch or dinner. I recommend adding fresh veggies and olives for the best flavor. Tzatziki egg salad tastes great on pita bread, naan, as a lettuce wrap, over a salad, or in a grain bowl.
This Tzatziki egg salad turned out to be a delicious lunch! It has protein-filled hard-boiled eggs, zippy tzatziki sauce, fresh crunchy vegetables, warm, soft naan, and flavor-packed kalamata olives. You can easily make this egg salad at the beginning of the week and eat it for lunch all week. Hard-boiled eggs stay fresh in the fridge for up to five days after you boil them.
I turned my tzatziki egg salad into a sandwich that tastes like a gyro. This egg salad would also taste great on toast, as a lettuce wrap, on crackers, or over a salad. This is a great way to switch up your lunch game and is also a great way to enjoy eggs for dinner!
