cucumber sauce

This cucumber sauce is full of flavor and fast to make! Made in minutes with Greek yogurt, lemon, and dill, it's like a quick tzatziki.

Quick Cucumber Sauce

cucumber

garlic clove

lemon juice

full fat Greek yogurt

olive oil

dill*

salt

black pepper

Water

Peel the cucumber and coarsely grate it. Place it in a clean tea towel or dish towel and squeeze tightly over a sink to remove excess liquid.

In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients, then stir in about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, until the sauce is smooth and creamy (the water amount will vary based on the yogurt brand). Store for up to 1 week refrigerated.

Lovely!
I’d love to try this.
Just to ask: instead of adding water, why not use the juice squeezed out from the cucumber? Is that a ‘no-no’?

Tzatziki sauce is a creamy yoghurt and cucumber dip packed with flavour which lifts up any Mediterranean dish. It can be used as an appetizer dip or condiment with grilled meat and veggies. And on top of all, it&#039;s very easy to make with just a few ingredients.

Homemade tzatziki sauce recipe

cucumber or 1 medium English cucumber (grated)

(or 500 g) Greek yoghurt

garlic (grated)

olive oil (extra virgin)

sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

dill

Grate

Slice the cucumber in half and take out the seeds. Grate the cucumber halves with the peels. Put the grated cucumber in a sieve to let the moisture drain. This can take a while, so you can also squeeze the moisture out by hand over the sink or in a cheesecloth.

Take a large bowl, add the Greek yoghurt, the grated and drained cucumber, the grated garlic, lemon juice, pepper, salt. Mix well.

Season

Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Add the fresh dill and refrigerate.

I love tzatziki, it's so easy to make and it goes well with just about anything. I never added parsley, I'll try that. Thanks for the tip!

I love tzatziki -- it brings so much flavor to a meal!

Mmm -- this is bringing back so many delicious memories of eating tzatziki in Greece!

Near perfect timing. We were having dinner the other night discussing what was missing. We concluded our dinner would be better if we had Tzatziki Sauce, but we didn't and we didn't have a decent recipe either. Now we do. Thanks.

I love tzatziki. So fresh and tasty. Especially with a meze or with pitta to dip. Delicious. Great recipe thank you.

A secret way to make tzatziki better than ever in the creamy lemon garlic cucumber dip. Perfect for your gyro, wrap or dip for a party.

Using a box grater, grate the halved cucumber over the big holes. Remove to a mesh strainer and season with salt. Let the cucumber rest for 5 minutes, then squeeze the cucumber to get rid of excess moisture.

In a bowl, mix the mascarpone, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon, and dill. Fold in the cucumber and taste for final seasoning. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors develop.
