1

Prepare the ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients for your Tzatziki Sauce. You'll need: 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cucumber (seedless if possible), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of fresh dill (chopped), 1 tablespoon of fresh mint (chopped), 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

2

Grate and drain the cucumber

Using a box grater, grate the cucumber into a bowl. Sprinkle some salt over the grated cucumber and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out the excess moisture. After 10 minutes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cucumber using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.

3

Mix everything together

In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped mint, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Chill and serve

Cover the Tzatziki Sauce with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Once chilled, give it a final stir and serve with your favorite dippers or use it as a delicious topping for grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy!
