Tzatziki
This delicious Tzatziki sauce is the perfect recipe to jazz up any meal. It is so fresh-tasting and creamy and it goes so well with meat, grilled vegetables, and warm bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt whole milk is best for this, but I have also used non-fat Greek yogurt and it also tastes good. It just depends on how rich you want this dip to be.
- 1 English Cucumber these are the long straight cucumbers you see in grocery stores that are usually in a plastic wrapper. It is about double the length of a regular cucumber.
- 1 clove Garlic grated or very finely minced. If you like a lot of garlic, use 1.5 cloves but do not use more or it will start to be overpowering.
- 2 tsp Olive Oil Extra virgin
- 1/2 Lemon
- 1.5 tbsp Fresh Dill chopped
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- warm pita bread for serving
- grilled meat and vegetables for serving
Instructions
- Peel and grate the cucumber. Then, squeeze out all of the water from it and add the remaining cucumber to a bowl.
- Add in your yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill . Mix Well
- Once it is mixed well, add it to a serving bowl and drizzle olive oil on top.
