Tzatziki Sauce (Creole Style)
Yield - 1 Quart

 

Chef's Comments

This amount of sauce could serve about 50 people.  But as a chef/caterer I would suggest making a double batch...  You are going to want to take some home!!

Chef's Notes:

The normal dipping sauce does not contain any red pepper flakes or white pepper.  That gives it a little spicier flavor!
