Tzatziki Sauce Recipe
Report
This easy one-bowl tzatziki sauce is made with Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, cucumbers, and dill. It's so refreshing!

Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt plain, full-fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra-virgin
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar, fresh
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper black is OK but will be visible on the white sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced, fresh
- 1 large cucumber peeled, coarsely grated
- ¼ cup dill chopped, fresh
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and white pepper.
- Mix in the garlic, cucumber, and dill.
- Cover and chill for one hour to allow the flavors to meld and develop. Mix the sauce one more time before serving.
Notes
- To make a chilled soup, add as much water as needed to slightly thin out the sauce, starting with ¼ cup. Don't add too much water - you want the soup to be thick and creamy.
- Plain whole milk yogurt is best. I don't recommend using a reduced-fat yogurt in this recipe, and certainly not nonfat yogurt.
- This is one recipe where I insist on using the best, highest-quality, extra-virgin olive oil. It's delicious, and it will make a big difference.
- English cucumber works best in this recipe because it's seedless and has a lower water content. However, a regular cucumber is fine if that's what you have on hand.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Remix the sauce before serving. I don't recommend freezing this sauce.
