Pro Tips for Succss:

Make Ahead: Marinate the meats the night before the event to save time and get even more flavor. Just thread the skewers right before grilling.
Grill with Ease: If you’re cooking indoors, use a grill pan. For the best results, make sure the pan is preheated to medium heat before adding the skewers.
Diet-Friendly Options: If you are not a fan of lamb, tender beef cubes such as beef tenderloin or ribeye can be substituted. For a lighter version, swap the pork with turkey or chicken breast. You can also make the tzatziki dairy-free by using coconut yogurt instead of strained yogurt.
