– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt – ½ cucumber, grated and drained – 1–2 garlic cloves, minced – 1 tablespoon olive oil – 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar – 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped – Salt, to taste – Fresh mint (optional)
Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel or cheesecloth to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
In a bowl, mix yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, olive oil, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt.
For best flavor, refrigerate the tzatziki sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend and develop.
Serve as a dip with pita or crudités, drizzle over grilled meats, or use as a creamy topping for gyros, wraps, or grain bowls.
Creamy, cool, and full of flavor, tzatziki is a versatile Mediterranean dip made with simple ingredients and ready in just minutes.
