Easy Greek Tzatziki Sauce
This tzatziki is the sauce in Greek cuisine you can’t live without. It goes on anything and everything. Its a dip with some pita chips or a topping on your grilled chicken. And the amazing part is that it’s totally healthy and good for you!
Comprised of Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, red wine vinegar, fresh dill, olive oil, fresh garlic, the absolutely important aspect is that you mix, and then taste to make sure there is enough salt, vinegar etc. Another crucial step is to let the sauce sit in your fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to consumption. This is necessary for the flavors of all of the ingredients to meld and come together. You mustn’t rush perfection!

I love this recipe!! It’s so easy and delicious. Thank you for all of your recipes and videos on instagram and on this website.
This looks delicious! But, what are cucumber shreds and how do you make them? Thanks!
HI Elisabeth, Just grab a cucumber, peel the skin off with a peeler, and then using a grater on the large hole side, shred it! Super easy – you just need a large hole grater. Ill link the one i use below:

easy and delicious.
Hi Vanessa, glad you liked the sauce!!
Delicious. I always thought homemade tzatziki was intimidating but not anymore. I left the peel on my English Cucumber so it is a bit crunchier but absolute perfection. Such good balance of tang vs garlic vs creamy. I will be making this for everything!
Hi Laura, MMMM love with the skin on! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! Cheers!
Hi Stella, your recipes are wonderful. However, I have a friend who can’t eat garlic. Any suggestions on what to substitute for all the garlic?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Kerrie and thank you! I would sub in onion powder – about 1/2 tsp to start and then add if you like more ….
This is the first time I saw this site 2. I W. OU? LD like to say I love this app because she is straight into the point. It doesn’t take a lot to read thank you for that.
OMG this is amazing! My dinner guests devoured it! It tasted so fresh and good on the Chicken gyro, on pitas and fresh veggies. I will be making again and doubling! I highly recommend making this!
It’s so yummy!!
I can’t get enough of this sauce! <3
Hi Erika, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is so delicious! In addicted! I’ve been eating it with rice and green leaf lettuce and white fish. I love the flavors! I used Fage yogurt and it’s so smooth, creamy, and not bitter. Yum!!!!
Hi from the UK. My bf struggles with raw garlic. Could we use roasted or will it completely change the authentic taste? Thanks 😊
Hi Samantha, I know how he feels! You can sub in garlic powder instead of the raw. Try about 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon. Mix it in, try it and add more if needed.
Good idea – thank you so much 😘
