Quick and Easy Tzatziki Sauce

This past week I went on a hunt for tzatziki sauce and three grocery stores later, returned empty-handed. After sharing my misadventure with my boyfriend’s mom, she enlightened me with this easy and delicious homemade tzatziki recipe:


Ingredients

  • 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 large cucumber, grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice*
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced*
  • 1 tbsp dill, chopped*
  • Pinch of salt*
Optional: Cumin, paprika, mint

*Start with this much, add more to your own taste preferences!

 

Instructions

  1. Grate your cucumber (a large cheese grater works well) and squeeze out the excess water. Mince garlic and chop dill.
  2. Mix everything together and voila! So simple. I recommend adding this into your weekly rotation alongside my quick & easy mediterranean style grocery list.
