TZATZIKI SAUCE RECIPE
Creamy Greek Tztaziki Sauce recipe with cucumber, yogurt, and garlic. Add a tablespoon or two of fresh dill or mint, if you like. Do not skip draining the cucumbers or your yogurt dip will be too watery. And for best texture, cover and refrigerate anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving. This versatile cucumber yogurt sauce can be used in many ways, be sure to read my post for all the ideas!

Steps:
- Use a box grater to manually grate the cucumbers or you can use a small food processor to finely chop the cucumbers as I do in this recipe. Toss the grated cucumbers with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Spoon the grated cucumber into a cheese cloth or a double thickness napkin and squeeze dry. (There will be a lot of liquid).
- In one large mixing bowl, place the garlic with remaining 1/2 tsp salt, white vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix to combine.
- Add the grated cucumber to the bowl with the garlic mixture. Stir in the yogurt, and a pinch of white or black pepper, and the fresh herbs (if using. I did not use fresh herbs in the video). Stir to combine well.
- Cover and refrigerate for a bit (anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours before serving). This will help thicken the sauce and give it the best texture, while allowing the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, stir the tzatziki sauce to refresh and transfer to serving bowl, drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil, if you like. Serve with your favorite veggies, pita chips or wedges (be sure to read the post for more ideas on how to use this sauce)!

Steps:
- Peel, grate, and drain cucumber. I drain my grated cucumber by placing it in a wire mesh strainer over a bowl. Use the back of a large spoon to push the water out of the cucumber until you can no longer squeeze any more liquid out.
- In a medium bowl, combine drained, grated cucumber with yogurt.
- Stir in dill, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well.
- Allow dip to sit in refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Steps:
- Cut the garlic clove in half and place the halves at the edge of the cutting board. Use the dull side of your chef's knife to cut the garlic almost to a mash, then use the sharp side to mince it. Put the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl along with a pinch of salt to remove the raw taste from the garlic and lightly pickle it.
- Chop the cucumber, scallions, and parsley and add them to the garlic.
- Finish by mixing in the yogurt, dried mint, and olive oil. Season with salt and serve with crudités, pita, or latkes.

CUCUMBER YOGURT DIP
I can not get enough of this recipe for this cucumber-yogurt dip/sauce. Works well on roasted meats, in wraps, on rice, as a dip with vegetables or pita (or just baguette) on a spoon.... I used it on my curried chicken and rice recipe and it added a little coolness to the spices.

Steps:
- to drain the yogurt, line a mesh colandar with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and hang over a bowl. Let the yogurt drain at least an hour or two, but no big deal if it is easier for you the night before. If that is the case, make sure to cover the top and leave it in the fridge.
- This can be skipped if you can get your hands on real Greek yogurt, which is thicker than most commerical brands.
- Place the now thickened yorgurt to a bowl and add the other ingredients. Best if it sits for a bit to let the flavors combine, but with me, it is likely that it will get eaten long before.
- You may keep leftovers in the fridge, but I find the raw garlic can get a bit intense upon sitting. Not that that is a bad thing, but consider yourself warned.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, organic cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal because they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill. However, fresh dill will give the dip a much better flavor.
- You can use any type of yogurt you like in this dip. Greek yogurt is a good option because it's thick and creamy. However, you can also use plain yogurt or even sour cream.
- If you want a thinner dip, you can add a little bit of milk or water. However, be careful not to add too much, or the dip will become too runny.
- Serve the dip with your favorite vegetables, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or cucumber slices. You can also serve it with pita bread or chips.
Conclusion:
This cucumber dill yogurt dip is a healthy and refreshing snack or appetizer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy dip, give this recipe a try!
