Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 cucumber unpeeled and seeded
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ Tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ Tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dill minced fresh, or freeze dried
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

Step 1: Prep the Cucumbers
  1. Grate the cucumber using a box grater. Place it in a strainer or wrap in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. This step keeps your tzatziki sauce thick and creamy.
Step 2: Mix the Base
  1. In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Add Flavor
  1. Mix in the grated cucumbers, salt, white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, dill, and black pepper.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
  1. Taste the tzatziki sauce recipe and adjust salt or lemon if needed. I like mine slightly lemony for gyros.
Step 5: Chill
  1. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors settle and makes it even better.

Notes

✅ Always squeeze excess water from cucumbers.
✅ Chill before serving for best flavor.
✅ Adjust lemon for brightness.
✅ Fresh dill gives stronger flavor than dried.
✅ Thick yogurt makes the best tzatziki recipe texture.
