Notes

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce

Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • A pinch of black pepper
Instructions
  • Peel and grate the cucumber using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid a watery sauce.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir the ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
