Tzatziki Sauce (Greek Cucumber Sauce)

Experience the refreshing essence of our Tzatziki Sauce, where each spoonful offers a harmonious blend of creamy yogurt, crisp cucumber, and aromatic dill. This Greek classic is a culinary staple that elevates any dish with its cool and tangy profile, making it an indispensable addition to your flavor repertoire.

Ingredients:
1 large cucumber (unpeeled)
2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
¾ teaspoon salt

Directions:
Using a box grater or food processor, grate the whole cucumber. Use cheesecloth or a tea towel to squeeze out the extra liquid from the shredded cucumber.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded and drained cucumber with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and salt.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce overnight, or for at least 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the tzatziki sauce chilled with pita bread, vegetables, or gyros. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
