How to Make Perfect Tzatziki Sauce

  1. Cube 1 large cucumber (about 2 cups cubed).
  2. Place the cubed cucumbers in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
  3. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and gently toss. Let sit for 30 minutes to drain excess moisture.
  4. Gently pat the cucumbers dry with a paper towel.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the drained cucumbers with 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Start with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and adjust as needed.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes! Serve chilled with your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
