Tzatziki Sauce

• porții: 4 servings
• timp activ: 10 minutes
• timp total: 10 minutes

Ingrediente

1 English cucumber

1 tsp kosher salt (divided)

3 to 4 garlic cloves

1 tsp white vinegar

1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

500g plain Greek yogurt

Handful of chopped fresh dill or mint (optional)

1/4 tsp ground white pepper

Instrucțiuni

Strain Greek yogurt in cheesecloth for 30 minutes up to 4 hours.

Use a box grater to manually grate the cucumbers or you can use a small food processor to finely chop the cucumbers. Spoon the grated cucumber into a cheese cloth or a double thickness napkin and squeeze dry.

In one large mixing bowl, place the garlic with remaining 1/2 tsp salt, white vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix to combine.

Add the grated cucumber to the bowl with the garlic mixture. Stir in the yogurt, and a pinch of white or black pepper, and the fresh herbs (if using. I did not use fresh herbs in the video). Stir to combine well.

Cover and refrigerate for a bit (anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours before serving). This will help thicken the sauce and give it the best texture, while allowing the flavors to meld.

When ready to serve, stir the tzatziki sauce to refresh and transfer to serving bowl, drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil if preferred.
