Homemade Tzatziki Sauce:

 Best Homemade Tzatziki Sauce

 Ingredients

1 cup thick Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)

½ large cucumber, grated

2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1–2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice (or white vinegar)

1–2 tbsp fresh dill (or mint), finely chopped

Salt & black pepper to taste

 Instructions

Prep the cucumber

Grate the cucumber and squeeze out all excess water using a clean cloth or paper towel—this keeps your tzatziki thick and not watery.

Make the base

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.

Combine

Add the drained cucumber and fresh herbs. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.

Season & chill

Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!) so the flavors can develop.
