Tzatziki sauce


There are a few things I like about going to a middle Eastern restaurant. Mostly the meats and then the sauce...the Tzatziki sauce. It is soooo simple to make and sooo delicious to eat

Tzatziki sauce (Yogurt sauce with cucumber)



Ingredients:
  1. 1/2 medium cucumber peeled
  2. 1 garlic clove
  3. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 
  4. 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  5. 1  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  8. Fresh ground blak pepper

Grate the cucumber using a box grater, then place the shreds in a fine mesh strainer and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Sprinkle with kosher salt, then let stand for at least 10 minutes to drain any remaining water. Squeeze once more to drain.
Mince 1 clove garlic and chop 1 tablespoon fresh dill.
Mix cucumber, garlic, dill,  yogurt, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt,  fresh ground black pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours so the flavors can marry. Serve with pita, crackers, or vegetables or with kofta kababs
