Tzatziki sauce, also know as Greek yogurt sauce! Easy to make and delicious. Learn how to make it.
In my constant struggle of trying to lose weight I remembered this sauce that my ex-boss does. She is 100% greek and she taught me that this is the traditional way that her family makes greek yogurt sauce, also known as Tzatziki. The only difference with the original recipe from my boss is that she uses Total Classic yogurt, which makes firmer consistency. I use 2% yogurt.
For me this has been an excellent substitute for sour cream. Much healthier. Rich flavor and excellent consistency. That is why I love adding it to my light version of chicken tacos. I just put a little (ok… more than a little) of this yummy sauce in my corn tortilla with grilled chicken, some tomates, avocado, and little bit of low-fat cheddar cheese … Voilà! A delicious, quick to prepare and very satisfying lunch.
I use it on everything! For an irresistible snack serve it with flatbread.
¡Buen Provecho!
- 3 cups of Faye Plain Greek Yogurt 2%
- 1 hot house cucumber peeled and shredded
- 2 garlic gloves minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of dill dry or fresh
- 1 teaspoon of salt
-
Stir together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, dill and salt in a bowl; cover and chill 8 hours or overnight before serving.
I keep it tightly covered in the refrigerator and it lasts up to a week.
I love this sauce! And, now I want a gyro…which will NOT help me lose weight!

Me encanto esta salsa, nunca la he probado. Me parece que es buena idea para salir de la misma rutina de siempre. Gracias por compartirla.
Curiosamente el que me comento sobre los beneficios del Yogurt Griego es mi hijo, que ultimamente ha cambiado su programa de alimentación porque hace mucho ejercicio. Inicialmente me reusaba a probarlo acostumbrada al Yogurt con sabor, pero ahora como snack me encanta. Lo probare en la receta que nos compartes. De hecho se lo voy a prepara a Jorgito..
Pues aún no me aventuro a probar este Yogurt pero esta receta se ve deliciosa.
Oriana, no sabes lo mucho que me gusta esta salsa. Hubo un tiempo en que frecuentaba un restaurante griego y comia montones de tzatziki con panes pita, con todo!
Love greek food and love Tzatziki sauce but have never tried to make it. Thanks for the recipe!!
