Tzatziki is a creamy, delicious sauce made with cucumber, yogurt, and fresh herbs. Salting and wringing out your cucumbers is the secret to making the best tzatziki sauce. This seasoning makes them taste more cucumbery and removes excess water that would water the sauce down. Use a thick plain yogurt for this (Greek or Icelandic yogurt is perfect).
Ingredient:
- 2 cups grated cucumber (we love hothouse or seedless cucumbers)
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 to 2 medium cloves garlic, minced, depending on how much you love garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice or more to taste
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint and/or dill
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
