Step 1
Prepare the English cucumber by removing any plastic wrapping.
Step 2
Grate the cucumber using the larger holes of a box grater.
Step 3
Place the grated cucumber in a small colander over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt to draw out the moisture and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Squeeze out the remaining excess liquid from the grated cucumber using paper towels or cheesecloth.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and sour cream, then whisk until smooth.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Draining the cucumber properly is crucial to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
English cucumbers are preferred because they have thinner skin and fewer seeds, making them easier to grate without peeling.
Letting the tzatziki rest in the fridge for a couple of hours allows the garlic and dill flavors to meld beautifully.
