Best Tzatziki Sauce
This Greek tzatziki sauce is made with grated cucumber, chopped dill, olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and spices.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cucumber grated
- 1 ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves
- ⅓ cup Dill chopped
- 1 ½ tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
- Start out by peeling and grating a cucumber. There are a few ways to prep the cucumbers, you can either chop the peeled cucumbers into small pieces or grate the cucumbers on the large holes of a box grater. We prefer grating the cucumber.
- Drain the excess water from the cucumber by either squeezing out the cucumbers over a sink or by draining the excess water by placing the cucumbers over a bowl lined with a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the cucumbers, chopped dill, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with a spoon until the mixture is combined.
Notes
- Drain the excess water from the cucumber. Cucumbers contain 96% water. To prevent this dip to turn watery, drain as much water as you can.
- If you have it available, use an English cucumber. It is less watery than regular cucumbers.
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavors! We suggest not using store-bought predicted garlic or store-bought lemon juice. The best flavors come from fresh ingredients.
