In a separate bowl, make the dressing with the olive oil, vinegar and water. Stir well and then mix with the salad. Add pepper to taste.

Finally, add the Tzatziki cheese. Enjoy your meal, or as the Greeks say, Kali orexi!

How long does tzatziki stay good in the fridge?

Tzatziki usually stays good in the fridge for 2-3 days, provided it is stored in an airtight container. The texture may change after a while, though, as the cucumber will release water over time.
Does the tzatziki still get too watery? To preserve its quality, you can carefully pour off the water or stir it briefly through the tzatziki.

Serving and variation tips:

Make it a meal: Add some grilled chicken, falafel or prawns to make the salad a light meal.
Herbs and spices: Garnish the salad with fresh mint, dill or parsley for extra freshness. You can also add smoked paprika for a slight smokiness.
Fruity twist: Try some pomegranate seeds or diced watermelon for a sweet and refreshing flavour that contrasts nicely with the salty and creamy tzatziki.

Vegetarian nachos casserole with Henri Willig cheese

2 pers

20 min

This vegetarian snack is delicious for any time! Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Make sure you have sliced the red onion, spring onion, pepper and jalapeños. Think half rings and strips. Grate a generous portion of cheese. We used our Henri's Hero Daslook cheese here, but our chilli cheese, young gouda cheese or herb-garlic cheese, for example, are also delicious. Place the tortilla chips in a baking dish and sprinkle the red onion, spring onion, pepper, corn, kidney beans and jalapeño peppers on top. Then spread the cheese over the baking dish. Put the dish in the oven until the cheese melts in about 10 minutes. Mash the flesh of the avocado with a fork. Add some lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Fill several bowls with the roasted tomato dip, avocado dip and crème fraîche, and serve with the baking dish of nachos. Dip and enjoy!
