Tzatziki sauce is a famous Greek yogurt sauce that is made from cucumber. This sauce is characterized by being, in addition to being light, very fresh thanks to the cucumber. If you have eaten them in restaurants and want to have it at home, follow this easy step-by-step recipe and prepare your own Greek tzatziki to eat whenever you want.
Ingredients to make Greek Tzatziki:
- 125 grams of natural yogurt
- 1 unit of small Cucumber
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ unit of Lemon
- 1 sprig of fresh dill
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
How to make Greek Tzatziki:
1.Making this Greek yogurt sauce is very easy, the most important thing is to mix the ingredients correctly. To do this, start by peeling and grating the cucumber finely. You will see that the cucumber releases a lot of water, it keeps the pulp and the liquid separately.
2.Also finely chop the garlic and squeeze the lemon, trying not to leave any seeds or pulp in the liquid.
3.Then make a mixture with all the ingredients except the cucumber water. Go adding this little by little as you see that it is necessary. Correct the seasoning with salt and pepper.
4.Take the tzatziki to the fridge and let it rest in the fridge for at least two hours before using it, so that the flavors meld well.
5.Now all you have to do is enjoy this Greek delicacy in any of your dishes. I recommend using the tzatziki sauce to accompany the classic falafel, a fish fillet or even to dress a fresh tuna salad.
