Tzatziki Sauce
Report
This tzatziki sauce is a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic and fresh herbs, all mixed together to make a zesty condiment or dip. Homemade tzatziki takes just minutes to make, and tastes way better than what you'd buy at the grocery store.

Notes
- I prefer full fat Greek yogurt, but low fat and non fat also work just fine.
- I prefer full fat Greek yogurt, but low fat and non fat also work just fine.
- Choose a thin skinned cucumber with minimal seeds such as an English or Persian cucumber.
- High quality olive oil is important here for optimal flavor since this recipe has such a minimal ingredient list.
- I really recommend using fresh dill as it's so much more flavorful than dried. If you do need to use dried dill, use 1/3 of the amount as you would for fresh.
