Ingredients
- 1 garlic peeled, small clove
- 1 red onion peeled, very small piece
- 1 piece cucumber about 4-5 inches in length (abut ¾ cup grated
- 1-2 dill minced (about 2 teaspoons, sprigs, fresh
- 2 cups Greek yogurt whole milk / full fat recommended
- salt to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice to taste, fresh
Notes
- If using s standard cucumber has a thick, waxy or tough skin, peel it first. Same goes for the seeds - if they are tough and/or large, use a spoon to remove them before grating.
- Be careful with the grated onion - if you use too much and it will taste too strong. If you don't love onion, just leave it out.
- For a thicker Tzatziki Sauce, wrap the grated cucumbers in a tea towel and squeeze out all of the liquid before mixing.*
- For an extra thick Tzatziki, strain your yogurt even more by placing it in a cheesecloth or paper towel lined strainer and letting it sit, with a bowl underneath of it, for at least one hour or up to overnight. This will drain out more liquid from the yogurt, resulting in a super rich, thick and creamy Tzatziki Sauce.
- It's best to let the Tzatziki sit for a few hours before serving to let all of the flavors meld, but it will still taste great right after making.
