Zucchini Burgers with Roasted Garlic Tzatziki

Go to Recipe

These zucchini-loaded veggie burgers are too tender for the grill grate, so they're cooked on a griddle, but they get a great kick from smoked paprika.

Greek Salad Sandwiches

Credit: © Martin Morrell
Go to Recipe

This is Greek salad perfection: Michael Psilakis tops warm bread with garlicky red-pepper tzatziki (cucumber-yogurt spread) and a piquant combo of cucumbers, olives, peperoncini, tomatoes, radishes, greens and feta. It's stellar with homemade ladopsomo bread and yogurt, but equally good with store-bought.

Chicken Kebabs with Fried Smashed Potatoes & Tzatziki

Go to Recipe

For his take on chicken souvlaki (Greek skewers of grilled meat), Jimmy Bannos Jr. sears marinated chicken thighs on a cast-iron griddle, which gives them "the crispiest, best skin ever," he says. To serve alongside the skewers, he fries smashed baby potatoes until they're tender and golden.

Pork Souvlaki with Tzatziki

Credit: © Yunhee Kim
Go to Recipe

Greeks make souvlaki by marinating chunks of meat (usually pork or lamb) in oil, lemon juice and oregano, then skewering and grilling them. Grace Parisi opts for pork shoulder because it's so tender and succulent. Instead of threading the meat onto skewers, she simply cooks it (with onions) in a grill pan until it's nicely charred, then serves it with store-bought pita and a garlicky cucumber-yogurt sauce called tzatziki.

Tzatziki Potato Salad

Go to Recipe

Tzatziki is a traditional Greek appetizer (or meze) made with yogurt and cucumbers. Here, Grace Parisi uses it in addition to mayonnaise as the base for her incredibly tasty potato salad tossed with dill, mint and serrano chile.

Chicken Souvlaki

Credit: Evi Abeler
Go to Recipe

Grilled chicken on pita with tomatoes, onions and tzatziki, a yogurt and cucumber sauce, makes a cool yet satisfying warm-weather supper. Souvlaki is often rolled to eat in your hand as a snack, but this more substantial version is served on a plate with a knife and fork. If you like, accompany the souvlaki with lemon wedges. When using wooden skewers, soak them first in water for at least ten minutes, or they'll smoke during cooking.
