Easy Greek tzatziki sauce

servings: 4

prep time: 10 minutes 

melding time: 30 minutes 

total time: 40 minutes 

ingredients

• 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded + shredded
• salt to taste
• 10 oz Greek yogurt
• 2 tbs fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1-2 tsp red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

instructions

• Gently pat the cucumber shreds with paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible, but you still want the cucumber to have some moisture to it.
• In a resealable container, mix the yogurt, dill, oil, garlic, red wine vinegar and salt to taste.  Lastly fold in the cucumber until combined.  Taste the tsatziki and adjust anything if needed.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

notes

I prefer the 5% fat Greek yogurt for this recipe.
