Easy Greek Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki sauce recipe
For 4 servings you will need:
1 English cucumber
4 cloves of garlic
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 teaspoons of dried dill
Good quality Extra Virgin Olive oil
2 cups of plain unflavored full fat Greek yogurt
Start by shredding the cucumber either by hand or in a food processor. When done, place a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth over a bowl and put about a quarter of the shredded cucumber in it. Sprinkle a pinch of Kosher salt, then add some more of the shredded cucumber and continue until all of the cucumber is in the bowl. The kosher salt will help extract moisture from the cucumber and make the next step a bit easier. Set the bowl of shredded cucumber aside and start working on the rest of the sauce.
In a large enough bowl add the minced garlic cloves, about a tablespoon of olive oil, squeeze about 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of Kosher salt. Then using a fork, incorporate all the ingredients and if you like black pepper, add a pinch as well.
Now get back to the shredded cucumber and try to squeeze as much of the juice out as you can.
When done, take the shredded cucumber out and add it to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Using a fork, incorporate everything well together before adding the yogurt. If you add the yogurt now, it will become too liquid.
When the cucumber is well incorporated with the rest of the ingredients, add the 2 cups of yogurt and gently mix using a rubber spatula. When done, cover the bowl with a lid or saran wrap and let chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
I use tzatziki sauce for pita bread sandwiches, as a side for scrambled eggs in the morning, over shredded beef or fried zucchini and as a dip.

Hi Mac, I hope you like it. Next week I’ll post a pork souvlaki - I wrap it in a pita bread with the sauce and it is fantastic!
