Pita and tzatziki is a delicious snack from the Mediterranean region that originated from the Ottoman Empire. Tzatziki sauce is made with yogurt, so there is a lot of protein to keep you full for longer. It is a great snack for on the go since you can fill the pita with tzatziki and vegetables. You can even add protein like grilled chicken for a fuller meal!
