Tzatziki Sauce
A 5 ingredient Greek dip that is flavorful and healthy!
Ingredients
- 2 mini cucumbers
- 2 cups thick Greek yogurt I always use Fage brand
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber using a cheese grater. Then sprinkle some salt over top and mix it. The salt will help the excess moisture to seep out. Set aside.
- Add the Greek yogurt to a separate bowl along with the lemon juice and minced garlic.
- Squeeze the cucumber so to get rid of the excess moisture. Discard the cucumber water. Add the drained cucumber to the yogurt mix and give it a good mix.
- Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 min so the flavors blend. Enjoy!
Notes
The tzatziki sauce will last for at least a week (usually much longer) if kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
Use this sauce as a dip for pita, pita chips, fresh vegetables (can be a healthier ranch substitute). Or as a condiment on top of scrambled eggs, on gyros, or chicken shawarma.
