I had already gave you my recipe for this sauce before, but for the sake of Ideas putting things together and me play with images lets do it again!
In here I put some raw and little roasted vegetable plate together for lunch. I roasted the carrots and the zucchini as well as the radishes. I left the peppers and the tomatoes raw because I didn't want to deal with the peeling on the peppers and the tomatoes well..was the fresh touch as well as the sprouts. so here it is the ingredients

I roasted my veggies just a little, just to take a little of the hard and crunchy bite off, because of my tooth ache, but normally I would eat these raw..or make a whole plate of roasted vegetables for dinner. In which case I would cover the vegetables all in olive oil and mashed garlic and roast them until the look a little brown. In this case they were in the oven roasting just until they look a little wilted and softer to the touch, nothing as a dressing before roasting.
Ingredients for the Tzatziki sauce:
2 cups sour cream (or Greek-style super thick yogurt I have use them both, in this case I had in fridge some made with yogurt)
1 English cucumber, peeled, grated on a grater, salted lightly for 5 minutes and squeezed between the hands to remove (the long, thin, almost seedless kind)
3 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste
1⁄3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill (optional) but recommended
salt
Directions
Just mix everything up together until it is all blended and the oil has emulsified into the yogurt/sour cream. Taste for seasoning, and add salt if you think necessary. Put in a resealable container.
Allow to 'sit' in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before using to allow the flavors to come out.
Use your favorite vegetables or the ones you have in hand, I used:
carrots
purple cabbage leaves
radishes
sweet pea sprouts
zuchini
cherry and grape tomatoes
ombre peppers
At the end, I had to much leftover veggies on my plate and I wanted to use the cabbage leaves I used as my bowl, so I sliced my cabbage and drizzle a little more sauce over it all add grilled fish in the afternoon had it as dinner!
Enjoy this sauce is awesome!
