Watch how to make Greek tzatziki sauce in this short recipe video. It's so easy to make with simple ingredients, including Greek yogurt, cucumber, fresh herbs, olive oil, lemon and garlic. This is the best homemade tzatziki recipe!
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook tzatziki using 7 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Tzatziki:
- Prepare 300 ml Greek yoghurt
- Prepare 1/4 cucumber
- Prepare 1/3 bunch mint
- Take 1 tsp dill
- Prepare 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Make ready 1 clove garlic
- Prepare pinch salt
To be truly superb, tzatziki MUST be made with strained, whole mild yogurt from Greece, otherwise the result will be runny as many users have noted. This tzatziki sauce tied everything together. I pretty much drowned my chicken and smothered everything on my plate with it. I then proceeded to down everything way to fast because it all tasted so.
Steps to make Tzatziki:
- Add the yoghurt to a bowl. Chop the cucumber into small cubes, about 1/8 inch each. Finely chop the mint and add both to the yoghurt.
- Smash the peeled clove of garlic with the flat of a knife and put this in, too.
- Finally, add the dill, lemon juice and salt, stir, then put in the fridge for at least 40 minutes. All the flavours will seep into the yoghurt, so honestly, this part, where you do nothing, is the most important bit.
- Once it’s done, remove the garlic clove, as it’s an unpleasant surprise otherwise, and smear liberally over meat and bread to hide a multitude of culinary sins. Or just dip carrots in it, and eat it that way.
