How to make tzatziki sauce

1. The first step for how to make tzatziki sauce is to shred one long english cucumber. Spread it out on a paper towel and sprinkle with a bit of salt (this helps draw the moisture out of the cucumber.

Let the shredded cucumber sit for 10 minutes, then press with a few extra paper towels, until you get as much liquid as possible out of those cucs.

2. Next, stir the cucumbers into a large bowl with Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, lemon juice and dill.

That’s it! Two simple steps and you’ve got yourself some deeelicious tzatziki!

Do I have to use Greek yogurt for this tzatziki recipe? Nope, you can use any plain yogurt you’d like. The Greek yogurt makes it nice and thick, but it does have a tangy yogurt aftertaste. For a more subtle yogurt flavor, use plain balkan-style yogurt.

How long does tzatziki recipe keep for? We enjoyed ours up to 4 days in the fridge.

What should I serve with this tzatziki sauce recipe? I loved mine with pita bread (grilled on my george foreman (similar to this one) to get it nice and soft). It’s also great on Greek salad, as a condiment on pita bread, on burgers or sandwiches, and so much more. Stay tuned for a meal prep recipe to use it in!
