Greek Tzatziki Sauce (Yogurt-Cucumber Dip)
The most delicious recipe for Tzatziki sauce made in just 5 minutes with yogurt, cucumber, sour cream, garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs! A simple Greek condiment to perk up almost any food.
Served as a dip or spread, you won’t regret trying this one out. I promise you'll like it.
This is the best tzatziki recipe around, just like your yiayia used to make! It's creamy and thick without having to strain the yogurt or make your own from scratch.
What is Tzatziki?
Tough to say, easy to make, tzatziki is a refreshing, healthy Greek sauce that can be used as an appetizer (also known as a meze in the Mediterranean).
You can also use it as a dip, a spread for pita sandwiches, or along with grilled meat.
Why it Works
- I like that this creamy cucumber sauce is a perfect side with grilled meats, fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. It's a dip, it's a condiment, it's a sauce, and it's a salad too!
- Even more: dilute leftovers with cold water and have a salad dressing. Add more water to make chilled cucumber soup - perfect for hot summer days.
- This tasty sauce is excellent for any game day, but it shines when you're hosting a Super Bowl party.
- This Greek sauce is rich, creamy, and perfect for bringing to potlucks and backyard BBQs!
- It's so versatile and a real crowd-pleaser!
The sauce is traditionally made with sheep or goat yogurt (we use regular Greek-style) and grated cucumbers mixed with garlic and fresh herbs, such as dill weed or mint, to give it flavor!
Other variations of this sauce (under slightly different names) are found across the other Mediterranean, Balkan, and Middle Eastern countries.
