GREAT food can be taken over the top with a delicious sauce and this tzatziki sauce is IT. While I am loyal to my Trader Joe’s Tzatziki in a pinch and during lazy days, there’s NOTHING like the fresh flavors of this homemade tzatziki!

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Tzatziki Sauce:
- Cucumber
- Greek yogurt
- Fresh garlic
- Dried dill
- Lemon juice
- Salt/pepper
EXPERT TIPS
- Save Time: Grating the cucumber and squeezing out the water definitely gives the tzatziki sauce a nice, smooth texture. However, if you want to just chop up the cucumber into small pieces and throw it in, that’s perfectly fine, too!
Casey’s Top Tip: Of course, this sauce is perfect to go along with chicken pitas, but use any leftover tzatziki as a dip for veggies or pita chips!
SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS
- About a tablespoon of fresh mint is a wonderful addition if you have some on hand!
