Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 medium cucumber
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Using a coarse grater, grate the cucumber onto a layer of paper towels or a clean dish towel. Squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can.
- Add the cucumber to a bowl with the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Refrigerate tzatziki sauce, covered, until ready to serve.
Notes
- I like to make tzatziki sauce a few hours ahead of time to give the flavors time to meld. It can be made up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Just stir again before serving.
- For sauce that's thick and creamy - not watery - use a super thick strained yogurt, such as Greek yogurt or skyr (I like whole milk yogurt best) and make sure to squeeze out as much water from the grated cucumber as possible.
- To make it dairy-free, swap in your favorite non-dairy yogurt. I like a thick, unflavored coconut yogurt, such as Cocojune (as long as you can tolerate coconut). Unfortunately, non-dairy yogurts are usually not very thick so your sauce will be a little thinner.
