Greek yogurt

sour cream

cucumber

sea salt

½ TBS white balsamic vinegar

TBS lemon juice

olive oil

garlic powder

tsp dill ((minced fresh,

black pepper

Place a fine mesh strainer on top of a smaller bowl (to catch the water as it drains). Be sure that the strainer does not touch the bottom of the bowl and that there is at least 1-2 inches between them.

Put a coffee filter on top of the strainer.

Mix 1 cup Greek yogurt and ¼ cup sour cream together. Carefully scoop it onto the coffee filter/strainer and place it in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.

To strain the yogurt/sour cream:

De-seed and grate your cucumber. Put it in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle with salt.

Let it sit on the counter for at least 2 hours, occasionally pushing out the excess water.

To strain the cucumber:

When you’re ready to make the sauce: squeeze out all excess water from cucumber by pushing it out while in the colander. Then get some thick paper towels, put cucumber in them and ring it out.

Put yogurt mixture in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Add all ingredients except cucumber. Once thoroughly mixed add cucumber and refrigerate for at least one hour to let flavors blend.

Serve with your favorite Mediterranean food like falafel or gyros!

Easy Homemade Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

Tzatziki sauce is a classic Greek condiment made with strained yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs like dill or mint. It is typically served as a dip with pita bread or vegetables, or as a sauce for grilled meats or gyros. The cool, creamy texture of tzatziki complements a wide range of dishes, making it a staple in Mediterranean cuisine.

Tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

lemon juice

dill (minced fresh, or freeze dried)

freshly ground black pepper.

Peel and shred the cucumber using a large cheese grater.  Make sure to remove the seeds from the ordinary cucumber before grating.

Squeeze as much water as possible from the grated cucumber using a kitchen towel or paper towels to keep the tzatziki sauce from being too thin.

Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, fresh herbs, and salt and pepper should all be combined in a medium-sized bowl.  Store refrigerated until you're ready to serve!
