Tzatziki sauce is tasty with fresh vegetables, and delicious on Mediterranean-type sandwiches or gyros. It was great with these Mediterranean Chicken Wraps. Healthy, tasty and easy to make. I can't ask for much more in a dip.
Tzatziki Sauce
Note: To speed up the process you can shred the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater and then place the shredded cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and wring out the excess water. You could then season with salt as desired after mixing the rest of the ingredients together. If you prefer finely chopped cucumber instead of shredded, follow the instructions in the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeds removed and cut into large chunks
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 small clove garlic, grated
3 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (or more to taste)
Directions:
1. Place the cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Set over a bowl and let drain for 30 minutes. Place the cucumbers in the middle of a clean kitchen towel and wring the towel to drain off as much water as possible. Dry with a paper towel. Chop very finely.
2. Combine the chopped cucumber with the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and dill. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in an airtight container.
