Full Recipe Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat is best!)
- 1/2 large English cucumber
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for a thick, non-watery sauce!
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and chopped dill.
- Stir in the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until it's well combined and creamy.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled!
Enjoy your delicious and fresh homemade tzatziki sauce!
