  • 1 cup sour cream 240g
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Finely dice the cucumber using a sharp knife. There should be about 3 cups when diced. Set aside.
  2. Measure the yogurt and sour cream into a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
  3. Measure in the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper and dill. Stir until combined.
  4. Add cucumbers to the base mixture, stirring until just mixed.

Notes

  • If using regular cucumbers, you will need to peel them and remove the seeds before finely dicing them to add to the tzatziki sauce.
  • How to store: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight food storage container for 4-5 days.
  • Editor's note: Previously, this recipe suggested blending everything together in a food processor to make the sauce. While you can still do this, please note that the sauce will be significantly thinner than the sauce shown in these images.
