Tzatziki Sauce

Thick and creamy Greek yogurt is blended with cucumbers, dill, lemon and garlic to create a healthy and addictive sauce.
Course Sauce
Cuisine Greek, Mediterranean
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 large cucumber peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 Tablespoon salt  for salting cucumbers
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh dill or mint  or both, depending on preference, chopped
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by peeling and seeding the cucumber. Dice cucumber and place in a bowl with the tablespoon of salt.
  • Allow to sit for about 30 minutes to draw the excess water out. Drain.
  • In a food processor place the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cucumber, and chopped dill. Process into a smooth sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

  • Traditionally used in gyros, Souvlaki, and other Greek dishes. Excellent with chicken or pork, or as a dip for flat bread.

Notes

It is really easy to make your own Greek yogurt (here is my recipe).
