Yum.  This is pure goodness in a pita right here.  When I saw Jessica’s post, I couldn’t wait to try this.  I love anything Greek inspired and especially the flavors in this dish…tangy lemon, salty olives, ripe tomatoes, fresh feta, oregano and dill.  You won’t believe the creamy, tangy deliciousness of this tzatziki.  I can’t resist it.  No surprise there, adding avocado to anything has that effect on me…

There are countless ways to enjoy the components of this recipe.  The dressing is perfect and the salad lovely all on it’s own.  I decided to add some grilled chicken and get a nice warmed pita involved.

Then I added a generous amount of avocado tzatziki.  I am not typically a fan of leftovers, but I’m already dreaming of tomorrow’s lunch..
