Homemade Tzatziki Sauce
This homemade tzatziki sauce recipe is brighter, fresher, and so much more flavorful than store-bought. It's super easy to make too!
Prep: 15 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ½ large English cucumber peel on (about 8 ounces)
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves minced garlic about 2 teaspoons
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber onto a double stack of paper towels. Fold the towels around the cucumber. Over the sink, squeeze out as much excess water as possible, adding another layer of paper towels as needed.
- Transfer to a bowl, then stir together with the Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, dill, olive oil, and salt. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days (or use it right away and know the leftovers will taste even better!).
Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before using it.
