authentic tzatziki sauce

This Authentic Tzatziki Sauce (Greek Cucumber Yogurt Sauce) is SO easy to make! Use as a dip, as a spread on sandwiches or gyros, or mix into chicken or tuna salad.

Authentic Tzatziki Sauce

cucumber (peeled, seeded, and grated)

Greek yogurt (I recommend full-fat)

kosher salt (plus more if needed)

extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for serving)

garlic (minced)

dill (chopped)

lemon juice (from about 1 small lemon)

Place the grated cucumber in a mesh sieve over a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and gently toss together. Place a clean towel on top of the cucumbers, with a heavy can (or something similar) on top to weigh it down. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes- the liquid from the cucumber will collect in the bowl below.

Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt (2 cups), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), olive oil (2 tablespoons), minced garlic, chopped fresh dill (2 tablespoons), and lemon juice (2 tablespoons) together in a medium bowl.

Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and wring it out. Get it as dry as you can!

Mix the grated cucumber into the yogurt mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve drizzled with more extra-virgin olive oil and garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with pita bread, pita chips, and/or crudités, or as a spread on sandwiches or tacos.

I couldn't believe how flavorful this was, and how healthy. Will be making all the time and putting it on everything. Thanks!!
