tzatziki sauce recipe

Creamy Greek Tztaziki Sauce. A versitle Greek yogurt and cucumber sauce to serve along with veggies and pita, spread on sandwiches, or add it next to grilled fish, meat or poultry!

Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

English cucumber, partially peeled (striped) and sliced

tsp kosher salt, divided

garlic cloves, peeled, finely grated or minced (you can use less if you prefer)

tsp white vinegar

tbsp Early Harvest Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil

yogurt

tsp white pepper

pita bread

Prep the cucumber. In a food processor, grate the cucumbers. Toss with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Transfer to a fine mesh strainer over a deep bowl to drain. Spoon the grated cucumber into a cheese cloth or a double thickness napkin and squeeze dry. Set aside briefly.

In one large mixing bowl, place the garlic with remaining 1/2 tsp salt, white vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix to combine.

Add the grated cucumber to the large bowl with the garlic mixture. Stir in the yogurt and white pepper. Combine thoroughly. Cover tightly and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

When ready to serve, stir the tzatziki sauce to refresh and transfer to serving bowl, drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil, if you like. Add a side of warm pita bread and your favorite vegetables. (also see notes for more ideas) Enjoy!

I've never made tzatziki sauce before and this recipe is perfection.  Absolutely delicious!!  Big winner in my house, everyone loved it!  Thank you so much :)

I have Greek in my background so I have had lots of authentic sauce before and this recipe is absolutely amazing!!!!! Thank you so much! I will definitely be making a lot!

This is so delicious!!! I made it a few weeks ago and I am making it again this evening. I think it has a perfect amount of garlic :-)

This is absolutely the BEST tzatziki sauce I've ever had. And it's so EASY to make. I do have one question. Do you have any suggestions for how I can use up the cucumber liquid that I squeeze out of the cheese cloth? Thanks.

Absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to try more recipes from you.

Wowza! Tzatziki sauces that I've made in the past have been very mild. Casually licking the spoon on this one lit up my mouth in an awesome sort of way. I had this on her chicken schwarma which was also good, but the sauce was the star.

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

LOVE this recipe! I have tried so many different recipes and this one is perfect and easy. Thank you so much for sharing

So delicious and garlicy. Tastes better than store-bought tzatziki and it makes a great amount to use in several applications.

I love Greece and I love Greek food. Make a little dill and a little dried or fresh mint in the tzatziki.

Love your recipe and helpful tips. I can’t wait to try this.
Can I substitute white pepper with black or will this come through the color to much?
G. From California

This was incredible.  I made it along with the Easy Greek Chicken and Potato Dinner and Easy Traditional Greek Salad and served with pita bread.  Everyone LOVED this.  I didn't have a food processor and just chopped the cucumber very finely before draining.  I used Fage Total 5% Greek yogurt and found that the dip was perfect.  I think we all ended up putting it on the pita, the chicken, the potatoes, straight spoonfuls... great recipe!

Very good! I love how fresh it tastes. You just can not get this type of flavor out of a can. I made it a few times and shared...I am now asked to make it for 100 people at a local event :-)

Why have I never made this before now!!!!!!!!!   OMAGURRRRRRSH!

Deeeelish! I love the garlic, but next time I’ll use a teeny bit less salt, especially if I’m serving kalamata olives with whatever dish I make. So good on lamb, chicken, potatoes, fish, and just a spoon. Thank you.

Amazing and so easy to make! The whole family gobbled it up.

My easy recipe for Tzatziki sauce made with Greek yogurt, cucumbers and garlic. I add this to souvlakis, gyros or grilled pita chips!

Skinny Tzatziki

oz fat-free Greek yogurt (use full fat for Keto)

garlic (crushed)

lemon juice

dill (chopped)

chives (chopped)

kosher salt and fresh pepper

Strain the yogurt using a metal strainer or a coffee filter for a few hours to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.

Scoop seeds out of the cucumber with a small spoon. Place cucumber in a mini food processor or grate with a box cheese grater. Drain the liquid from the  cucumber in a metal strainer and sprinkle with a little salt (this helps release the liquid). You may want to use the back of a spoon to help squeeze out any excess liquid.

Combine strained cucumber, garlic, yogurt, salt, pepper, lemon juice, dill, chives and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Makes about 2 cups. Store in refrigerator for about a week.

This classic tzatziki sauce is made of Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil and more. Tzatziki is Greek sauce/dip that goes along with many delicious dished such as gyros, souvlaki and more.
