Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 250-g container tzatziki , about 1 cup
- 1 green onion , thinly sliced
- pinch salt , optional
Instructions
- Place coconut in a frying pan and set over medium heat. Stir frequently until coconut turns golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn into a bowl. Scrape tzatziki into bowl. Stir in onion and salt. If too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tbsp (15 to 30 mL) milk. Refrigerate if not using right away. It tastes best the day it’s made. Garnish with more coconut, if you wish.
