  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill (or 1 Teaspoon dried dill)

Tzatziki Sauce

  1. Peel your cucumber and grate using the largest grating hole on a cheese grater. Lay on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and let sit for 5-10 minutes. The salt will help draw out any excess moisture in the cucumber.
  2. In a bowl add in greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Fold the paper towel corners together and squeeze all the excess water out of the cucumber over the sink. Add into the greek yogurt mixture. Mix to combine. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed.
