Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance the Flavor

  • Add a sprinkle of sumac or za'atar for extra flavor flair.
  • Warm the pita if you serve one on the side (we see you, carb-lover).
  • Use fresh mint in the tzatziki for a cooling twist.
  • Swap quinoa for couscous or rice—because rules are boring.
  • Meal prep it in jars and feel like you’ve got your life together.
Bon appétit, goddess. Or as we say in your imaginary Greek villa—OPA! 🌿🍋✨
