Tzatziki Sauce
Most people associate cucumbers with fresh salads, vinaigrettes, and dill dip, but I like to pair it with something savory in the form of tzatziki sauce. Traditionally served as a Greek condiment with lamb, tzatiki sauce is a great pairing for whatever protein is on your plate and is the perfect summertime sauce because it's refreshing and light.
See all Greek recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup finely diced cucumber
- 1 Tablespoon chopped dill
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
- Dash of olive oil (optional)
Directions
Combine the first 7 ingredients together in a small bowl, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Before serving, drizzle with the olive oil, if using.
