Tzatziki Sauce

This easy Tzatziki makes a great dip, spread, or sauce. It's delicious on gyros and other sandwiches or try a dollop on a soup or salad. Or, enjoy with fresh veggies and a pile of warm pita bread.

Ingredients :
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • olive oil
Directions :
  1. Shred the cucumber or chop in food processor. Toss with ½ teaspoon salt and set over a strainer or paper towels (a coffee filter also works well) and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Squeeze cucumber to remove as much liquid as possible.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and white wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper). Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 days for flavors to meld.
