Creamy Greek Yogurt + Cucumber + Garlic + Lemon = Perfection!

The secret to an extra creamy tzatziki sauce lies in making sure you drain the cucumber well after grating it. Do not peel it! You want little pretty green specks popping through the final dish, but make sure to use your hands and squeeze as much water out of it as possible. Save that to make cucumber lemonade for later.

Then you mix it well with fragrant fresh dill, lots of grated garlic, a touch of olive oil and brightened up with some zesty lemon. All without the use of a blender or food processor, and can be stored in the refrigerator in a jar with a tight lid up to a week.

FAQ:

What to serve with ?

Why is my tzatziki sauce watery and thin ?

Most likely you forgot to drain the cucumber well or you used a thin yogurt. Must use a Thick Greek style yogurt and squeeze out all the moisture.
