How to Make Jersey Diner Tzatziki Sauce
- Line a small colander with a damp paper towel and place it inside a small bowl. Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and let it drain in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until thickened like sour cream.
- While the yogurt drains, grate 1 medium cucumber. Place the grated cucumber in a separate colander.
- Lightly salt the grated cucumber and gently press with your hands or the bottom of a bowl to remove excess water. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the drained cucumber to the yogurt mixture. Gently stir to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled with your favorite gyros, falafel, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
- Optional: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
