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!

Instructions
- Gently pat the cucumber shreds with paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible, but you still want the cucumber to have some moisture to it.
- In a resealable container, mix the yogurt, dill, oil, garlic, red wine vinegar and salt to taste. Lastly fold in the cucumber until combined. Taste the tsatziki and adjust anything if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

I will try your recipe as it looks delicious with the dill like all your recipes ☺️ I do exactly the same apart from the dill and vinegar. Instead of dill I put either fresh or dry mint (whatever you have at home) and instead of vinegar I use freshly squeezed lemon. Xx
Literally, the best tzatziki! I have never made it before but this is 1000% better than store bought! So so good! Thank you!
This is the best chicken dish I have ever made. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Stella, delicious tzatziki sauce. Will make it all the time. Much better than store bought!
Does sour cream work if no greek yogurt on hand?
I know the cucumber must be an important part of recipe, but, would I completely ruin it without it?
Hi Judie, feel free to leave it out. You can use some milk to thin it out a bit if needed.
Thanks. Can’t wait to try
enjoy!!!
Love it!…As I do every recipe of yours that I’ve tried.
Thank you Velda!!
delicious. I didn’t have red wine vinegar so used apple cider vinegar, not sure how much it changed the taste but it was good!
Hi, I see olives in the picture but not in the recipe. How come? Thank you.
Hi Pat, its an optional garnish – not necessary for the dip recipe!

First recipe of your I’ve tried, so far so good!
Hi!! I love your recipes!!! Question on the nutritional info for most of your recipes. It’s the tiny bit of trans fat. It’s always there, even in very small amounts. Where is this coming from? Thanks!
