Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced or shredded cucumber, seeds scooped out and discarded from the inside before dicing or shredding
  • 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • Juice from 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons), plus 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice or shred the cucumber.
  2. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined.
  3. Taste the sauce and add any additional garlic, salt or pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Dice the cucumber larger for a chunkier tzatziki sauce with more of a crunch.
  • Dice the cucumber more finely for a smoother sauce.
  • Shred the cucumber for the smoothest tzatziki sauce.
