How to Make Pure Tzatziki Sauce Of The Gods
- **Make the Yogurt Cream:** Place a coffee filter inside a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
- Pour 1 cup of plain whole milk yogurt into the coffee filter.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or up to 24 hours for an extra thick consistency).
- **Prepare the Cucumber:** While the yogurt drains, peel one medium cucumber (about 8 inches long).
- Halve the cucumber lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
- Shred the cucumber using a box grater or food processor shredding attachment.
- **Extract Cucumber Juice:** Place 1/3 cup of shredded cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a small bowl. Reserve the juice.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Gently remove the thickened yogurt from the coffee filter. Add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), the shredded cucumber (reserve any extra for garnish), and the reserved cucumber juice.
- **Mix & Chill:** Stir all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Best served chilled for at least 1-2 hours)
- **Serve:** Enjoy your heavenly Tzatziki sauce with gyros, as a dip for vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches. Garnish with extra shredded cucumber if desired.
