Tzatziki Sauce for 4

Ingredients
  • 1/2 English cucumber, peeled
  • 16 oz (2 cups) cold plain Greek yogurt (either full fat or fat free will work)
  • 2-3 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup chopped dill, fresh or frozen
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (Juice of 1/2 lemon; please squeeze a real lemon)
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
Directions
  1. Peel and finely diced the cucumber and strain of it’s juices. I squeezed it really tight by the fistful. Getting rid of excess juice is important so that you tzatziki sauce isn’t watery the next day. 
  2. Combine the strained and chopped cucumber with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt (add more to taste) and pepper. 
  3. Mix everything together and add more salt to taste if needed. It’s best to refrigerate for about 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld. It tastes even better after refrigerating overnight! 
Notes
