How to Make Greek Tzatziki Sauce

Store-bought mayonnaise is often considered a high-calorie and unhealthy product.

 

However, many do not know how to replace it with a healthier alternative without losing its taste.

The Greek sauce "tzatziki," which is easy to make at home, will handle this task perfectly.

To prepare the sauce, you will need:

  • cucumber;
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic;
  • 240 g of natural yogurt;
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice;
  • the same amount of olive oil;
  • a couple of sprigs of dill;
  • salt and pepper to taste.

First, grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess liquid from the resulting mass.

Then, place the pulp in a convenient container, add the minced garlic and dill, as well as all the other ingredients, and mix thoroughly.

After that, cover the sauce with a lid and send it to the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours.

The finished tzatziki can be served with meat, fish, and baked potatoes. It can also replace mayonnaise in your favorite salads or be served with vegetables.
