Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup grated cucumber water squeezed out
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt + pinch of pepper
Instructions
- Using a large cheese grater, shred the cucumber (no need to peel it). If using a regular cucumber, make sure to scoop the seeds out before grating.
- Using a kitchen towel or paper towels, squeeze out as much water from the grated cucumber as you can to prevent the tzatziki sauce from becoming too watery.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve!
