Creamy Tzatziki Sauce

• actieve tijd: 15 minutes
• totale tijd: 15 minutes

Ingrediënten

230g plain Greek yogurt (see note)

1 cucumber (grated)

1 cloves garlic (minced, or more to taste)

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Optional add-ins: fresh chopped dill and/or mint (up to 1 tablespoon each), and/or a pinch of dried oregano (to taste)

Olive oil (optional, for drizzling on top)

Instructies

Grate the cucumber using the large holes in a box grater. You can either grate it into a sheet of paper towel and then wring it out to remove the excess liquid, or simply grate it into a bowl and then squeeze out the excess liquid with your hands.

Add the Greek yogurt to a bowl and stir in the cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and the optional add-ins if using. I am quite generous with the salt. Be sure to taste & adjust ingredients to your liking (I've included a bunch of tips/suggestions in the recipe notes).

Let it sit for at least 10 minutes, up to a few hours so the flavors mix and intensify. Serve with olive oil drizzled over top.
