The delicious classic Greek dip made with creamy Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.

How to Make Authentic Greek Tzatziki

(2 cups) Greek yogurt

peeled,

kosher salt

garlic, finely minced

lemon juice

dill

Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise.

Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then grate the cucumber using a box grater.

Place the shredded cucumber in a clean tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This prevents a watery tzatziki.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the drained Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, salt, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Top with dill, and optionally additional olive oil when serving.

Serve as a dip for pita bread, grilled meats, or fresh vegetables.

Store leftover tzatziki in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

I love this "sauce"! I tried it in several versions, but this original, with Greek style yogurt is definitely the best for me. Here in Croatia we have a habit of making a version ov tzatziki which uses sour cream instead of yogurt and onions instead of garlic.
Great recipe!

That looks gorgeous. Any food with Greek influence really can't go wrong!

Hi Pam, I made your tzatziki again, everyone loves it! 

I prepare mine the same way. Lived in Thessa, Santorini and Crete in the early 1990s, and had learnt to prepare numerous Greek dishes. Though I am Italian &amp; French, I love Meze. 

Happy Holidays,

I made this yesterday to accompany our lunch and tzatziki was great! Didn't have the time to take a picture, but promise I will next time. I will make it often, thanks for the perfect recipe!

Another Greek person here, confirming that this is a very authentic recipe. Tzatziki is eaten with almost anything in Greece, no meal is really complete without it.

Served this and a green salad on the side of grilled chicken breast yesterday and it was very good. Tasty, tangy, big kick from garlic, just like i like it. Thanks for a great recipe!

I mean this is pretty much spot on for the perfect tzatziki. My mother made it this exact way, and it is delicious. I grew up on Rhodos, and this is my favorite thing to eat.

Homemade Greek Tzatziki Recipe with Sour Cream is a creamy, tangy dip that elevates any appetizer or snack.
