How to Make Perfect Tzatziki Sauce
- Cube 1 large cucumber (about 2 cups cubed).
- Place the cubed cucumbers in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and gently toss. Let sit for 30 minutes to drain excess moisture.
- Gently pat the cucumbers dry with a paper towel.
- 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.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Start with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and adjust as needed.
- 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.
