A refreshing and creamy Tzatziki Sauce made with Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, and garlic. Perfect as a dip, condiment, or accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes, this sauce is easy to prepare and chilled for enhanced flavors.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup grated cucumber
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced


Instructions

  1. Combine Yogurt and Cucumber: In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 1 cup of grated cucumber until evenly incorporated.
  2. Add Olive Oil and Garlic: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove to the yogurt and cucumber mixture.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients well until the sauce is smooth and all flavors are blended uniformly.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.

Notes

  • For best results, drain excess water from the grated cucumber to avoid a watery sauce.
  • Adjust garlic amount to taste for milder or stronger flavor.
  • Serve chilled with grilled meats, pita bread, or as a salad dressing.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
