Greek Tzatziki image

This flavor will delight you and you will crave it many times over again. I love having it with wraps. Use in meat dishes. This can also be used as a dip or in potato salad.

GREEK TZATZIKI SAUCE INGREDIENTS
1 - container Greek style yogurt, 16 oz
1 medium cucumber
3 clove(s) garlic, grated
2 tablespoon(s) fresh dill, chopped fine
3 tablespoon(s) lemon juice (I use fresh lemons)
1 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber.
  • Cut the cucumber in half and remove the seeds. (I like to leave them in sometimes.)
  • Use a hand grater, or food processor, to grate the cucumber.
  • Place the cucumber in a double thickness of paper towel and gently squeeze out the moisture.
  • Replace the wet paper towel with a dry paper towel, and continue squeezing the cucumber until most of the moisture has been removed.
  • Add the cucumber to a medium bowl.
  • Stir in the garlic, dill, lemon juice, and olive oil.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and stir until well blended. (Should be easy to find in stores.)
  • Cover the tzatziki sauce and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
