My FAVORITE Easy Homemade Tzatziki Recipe ✱ Saucy Sundays

Greek yogurt

🥗Healthier: strained cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: regular yogurt

Strained cottage cheese offers a similar texture with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil provides healthy fats while being cost-effective.

fresh dill

🥗Healthier: dried dill

💰Cheaper: parsley

Dried dill is a convenient alternative, while parsley adds freshness.

lemon juice

🥗Healthier: lime juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lime juice offers a similar acidity, and vinegar is often more affordable.

Grate the cucumbers and strain out the moisture using a cheesecloth.

Chop two cloves of garlic finely.

Zest the lemon and then juice it, removing any seeds.

Chop fresh dill and add it to the mixture.

In a larger bowl, combine the grated cucumbers, chopped garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped dill.

Add Greek yogurt to the mixture, approximately four scoops, and mix well.

Season with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, stirring until combined.

Taste the tzatziki and adjust seasoning if necessary.
