Tzatziki Cucumber Slices Are the Easiest 3-Ingredient Snack

(1)

Tzatziki cucumber slices offer a refreshing, quick snack with just three ingredients. The crispness of the cucumbers complements the creamy, tangy tzatziki, creating a light and flavorful bite. For the best texture, try using English cucumbers, which have a thin skin that doesn't need peeling, keeping the prep minimal.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
