Ingredients

1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 ½ tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon fresh squeezed

Instructions

Peel the cucumber and chop it into very fine pieces.
In a small bowl add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic cloves, fresh dill, and lemon.
Stir the sauce ingredients until they're well combined.
The sauce can be served immediately or let it rest in the fridge for 1-2 hours to help the flavors to blend.
Serve with Greek salad, gyros, meat kabobs, or flatbread.

Notes

Any type of Greek yogurt can be used for the recipe. Using a type of plain yogurt other than Greek will result in a very thin sauce.
If you want the cucumber flavor but not little pieces of cucumber in the sauce, grate the cucumber on a box grater instead to finely shred it.
Feel free to skip the oil for a lighter tzatziki sauce!
