Tzatziki Sauce

Labels:
I always get lazy when I think of making this, but then it ends up tasting so good. The garlic adds so much flavour that you might not even need all the salt.

Approx:
Serving Size: Makes about 2 cups
Duration: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3/4 English cucumber
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 4 to 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 400 mL of plain Greek yogurt (can use Oikos 4x200mL yogurt packs)
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp dill (fresh is preferred)

Directions

  1. Slice cucumbers and place into a food processor. Blend until mushy.
  2. Place the cucumber mush onto a mesh strainer and leave for about 1 hour for the liquid to drain out and the mush to dry.
  3. In a container, add garlic, salt, vinegar, pepper, olive oil, (freshly chopped) dill.
  4. Once cucumber mush is ready, add to the container along with Greek yogurt. Mix well.
  5. Refrigerate for 30 mins to let flavour sink in or serve right away and enjoy!
