Tzatziki Sauce
How to Make Tzatziki Sauce
Start by grating the cucumber. I use the largest holes on a box grater to give my final sauce texture and plenty of green flecks.
Next, squeeze the water out of the grated cucumber. This step is essential for making a creamy tzatziki – if you skip it, the water from the cucumber will cause your sauce to separate. Squeeze the cucumber directly over the sink, or press it lightly between kitchen or paper towels.
Then, stir everything together! Mix the squeezed cucumber with the yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and herbs, and chill until you’re ready to use.
That’s it!
