Tzatziki
Cool and refreshing tzatziki yogurt sauce, with fresh mint
Tzatziki is our go-to when grilling Mediterranean-style spreads, especially delicious with lamb, chicken, and salmon.
Tzatziki recipe
Makes a little over a cup
Ingredients:
1 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt (low-fat works too)
1 clove garlic, crushed or minced fine
1/2 cucumber, peeled
2 tablespoons finely minced mint
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 squeeze lemon juice
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a grater, then squeeze and drain excess liquid. Stir all ingredients together. Important: taste and add what you think it needs to make it just right.
Note: add about 1/4 cup crumbled feta for a delicious dip with toasted pita.
