Try using a teaspoon of white wine vinegar when making tzaziki, gives the final product that special twang.

A bit more generous on the olive oil remember this is Greek Food make sure the olive oil is extra virgin First Pressed, Skip the wine vinegar just use two teaspoons of distilled clear vinegar instead.
Finish off by sprinkling with some oregano and a few kalamata olives to garnish.
