Homemade Greek Tzatziki

Yum

Homemade Greek Tzatziki

Greek food is my favorite food. Well, anything Mediterranean really. It’s flavorful, delicious, and usually really healthy. Tzatziki sauce is one of my favorite things in this world. It’s refreshingly cool and awesome to dip things in. One of my old friends and former boss, used to make Homemade Greek Tzatziki for special occasions at her house in Birmingham. She started making it after traveling to Greece and falling in love with it. I find it very funny that I too have started making my own Homemade Greek Tzatziki after traveling to Greece and also falling head over heels in love with it.

Ingredients for Homemade Greek Tzatziki

Tzatziki is traditionally made with thick Greek yogurt, minced garlic, shredded cucumbers, dill and salt. That’s it! You just need to mix the recipe up and allow it to meld together for a couple hours before noshing on it. The cucumbers get peeled, seeded and shredded. Then I squeeze them in a couple paper towels to get all the excess water out to ensure I have a thick tzatziki that isn’t watery.

It always seems very complicated to make tzatziki, but it’s not complicated at all. It just requires a few fresh ingredients and you are on your way to Homemade Greek Tzatziki. This is the perfect thing to pair with grilled chicken, falafel, lamb burgers, or simply to dip pita bread in. The nice thing about making tzatziki as opposed to buying its it makes enough for a crowd, or for some leftovers. Whenever I buy those little tubs they disappear quickly. This makes a good sized amount, and can easily be doubled for a crowd of people.
