We love tzatziki sauce so much, we'd probably marry it if it were the same religion as us. (We assume it's Greek orthodox.) Something about the cucumber makes everything taste fresh and light. It makes these fish cakes sing with glee; they complement each other perfectly on the plate. Tzatziki, we love you. (In a platonic way.)
