Como fazer Greek Tzatziki Sauce

If using regular yogurt, place it in a coffee filter or piece of cheesecloth lined strainer set over a bowl. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours to drain excess whey. (Skip this step if using Greek yogurt).
While the yogurt drains, place 1 cup of grated cucumber in a clean tea towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly to remove excess water.
Discard the squeezed cucumber liquid. Sprinkle the cucumber with 1 teaspoon of salt and gently mix. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
Rinse the cucumber under cold water to remove excess salt and squeeze again to remove as much liquid as possible.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained yogurt (or undrained Greek yogurt), ½ cup of squeezed cucumber, ¼ cup sour cream, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, and a pinch of salt.
Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
Stir gently before serving. Enjoy your homemade Tzatziki sauce! It will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
