Tips & tricks

Let the tzatziki chill for at least 15 minutes if you have time. This lets the garlic flavor the yogurt and makes the sauce taste more balanced.

Did you know?

Tzatziki gets the right texture when the cucumber is salted and squeezed free of liquid before being mixed with yogurt. Greek yogurt gives a thick base, while garlic and freshly ground pepper add clear flavor. The fresh cold sauce works especially well with grilled food, lamb and dishes with warm spices.
