A thick Greek yogurt makes this lighter twist on traditional tzatziki sauce creamy and satisfying with just a few bites. Serve it with grilled or baked salmon, roasted lamb, or chicken.

Ingredients

  • One 6-ounce container Greek yogurt, regular or 2 percent
  • 1 cucumber, preferably English, peeled and grated
  • 1 sprig of fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions

In a bowl, add the yogurt, cucumber, dill, and lemon juice. Mix to combine, adding more lemon juice and dill if desired. 

Cucumber Shopping Tip

There are three different types of cucumbers: slicing, pickling, and “burpless.” If you're making sandwiches, you might want to try the “burpless” variety which are naturally seedless and are less likely to cause gas.

Cucumber Cooking Tip

Salting your cucumber slices and allowing them to drain over a colander for about an hour will get rid of any excess water and keep your sandwich from becoming soggy.
