How to Make Tzatziki Gyro Sauce
- Combine 1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced, with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a colander. Let drain for 15 minutes.
- While the cucumber drains, mince 2 cloves of garlic and mash into a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic paste with 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently squeeze out excess water from the drained cucumber using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Add the cucumber to the yogurt mixture.
- Stir well to combine. Season with additional salt to taste.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days) to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
- (Optional) Garnish with fresh dill or mint before serving.
