Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cucumber finely grated
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain and whole fat

- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dill grated and fresh
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Mint grated (optional)
Instructions
- Finely grate the cucumber using a box box grater. Place it on a cheese cloth or some sort of cloth so that you can squeeze out the excess liquid. Once the liquid is squeezed out of the cucumber, set it aside.
- Using a medium to large mixing bowl, place the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and Olive oil in it. Mix them together thoroughly.
- Next, add the dried out cucumber, grated dill, salt, and mint if you are using it, directly into the Greek yogurt mixture.
- Stir the sauce up until it is well combined. Cover with plastic wrap, or a lid and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
Tzatziki can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days as long as it is tightly covered.
Stir the sauce before each use, as settling will occur and liquid will rise to the top.
