Tzatziki sauce

Ingredients

  • 400 g Greek-style yogurt (thick)
  • 2–3 small cucumbers (about 300 g), peeled
  • 1–2 tbsp tzatziki spices, to taste
  • a splash of olive oil
  • juice of half a lemon, optional
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Prep: Peel the cucumbers.

  2. Grate the cucumbers on the coarse side of a box grater into a bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can — wet cucumber makes runny tzatziki.

  3. Seasoning: Sprinkle tzatziki spices over the grated cucumber and stir to coat.

  4. Mix: Add the full tub of Greek-style yogurt, a splash of olive oil, and lemon juice if using. Stir until thick and evenly green-speckled. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes so the flavours settle. Serve cold with grilled chicken, gyros, pita, or as a dip.
