Tzatziki is a traditional Greek side dish/sauce made with Greek yogurt (shocker) and cucumber. It acts as a wonderful cool sauce for grilled spiced meats, dressing for a hearty Greek salad, or as a dipper for veggies and naan/pita.

Ingredients

  • 500 grams Greek Yogurt dairy free yogurt for Whole 30
  • ½ Medium-Sized Cucumber deseeded & finely chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Minced Garlic ~ 4 large cloves worth
  • 1 Lemon Juiced
  • 2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil for garnish/drizzle

Instructions

  • Pour the extra water off the top of the Greek yogurt. You want it to be as thick as possible. (Feel free to let the yogurt drain in a cheesecloth for a few hours for an extra thick texture).
  • Press the deseeded and chopped cucumber in cheesecloth or paper towels to absorb as much moisture as possible. Press down and squeeze, don’t worry about bruising.
  • Stir all the ingredients together.
  • Drizzle with a little EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) to finish, if you so desire.
  • Serve with any veggies or grilled flat bread.
  • Enjoy!
