Notes
For a gluten-free presentation, suggest serving with sturdy vegetable crudités. If your audience is not strictly gluten free – you can suggest serving with pita bread, as well.
For best results, prepare the tomato-cucumber mixture and the Tzatziki sauce the night before to give the flavors a chance to combine. If preparing in advance, cover and store in the refrigerator until just before ready to use.
