Directions for Making Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out the excess moisture to ensure the sauce isn't watery.

    In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the tzatziki and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tzatziki sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
