COOK: Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki Sauce is easy to make, naturally gluten free, and can be used in a lot of different ways.  You can serve it with veggies, crackers, and pretzels as a dip, as a sauce on flatbread sandwiches and wraps, even a dressing on salad or pasta.  We love it with my simple stove top Chicken Souvlaki.

I suggest you make it a day before serving so that the flavors can meld and develop, it will last in the fridge for up to a week.  

Tzatziki Sauce

Ingredients:

1 Cucumber (Large)
2 teaspoons Salt
2 Cups Greek Yogurt
3-4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice (Fresh squeezed is best)
5 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
2 Tablespoons Fresh Dill (Minced)

Preparation:

Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and remove all seeds (I like to use a grapefruit spoon, but any spoon will work.)  Grate remaining cucumber, add salt and gently mix by hand, spread out in a fine mesh strainer over sink or a large bowl and let set for about 15 minutes.  Next use cheesecloth or a paper towel to squeeze any remaining liquid from grated cucumbers.

In a medium sized bowl mix together cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and dill.  Store in fridge overnight, taste and add additional lemon juice or salt to taste.
