Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 8 mins

STEP 1
How to cook tzatziki? Gather all the ingredients so you have them on hand. Take natural yogurt, without sweeteners. Olive oil is extra cold pressed, it is the best. Instead of olive oil, you can try any other suitable vegetable oil, even sunflower. The sauce will no longer have the classic taste, but it will still be delicious.
STEP 2
Wash the cucumber and peel it. The thickness of the sauce can be changed by adding or subtracting cucumber pulp. That is, you can take two cucumbers instead of one.
STEP 3
Grate the cucumber on a fine grater into a deep bowl. You can use a food processor.
STEP 4
Squeeze the juice from the resulting cucumber mass. I didn’t get too carried away; the flesh remained slightly juicy. Salt it, add chopped garlic and stir.
STEP 5
Pour white wine vinegar into the cucumber mixture. Add natural yogurt and mix everything. It is advisable that the yogurt be as thick as possible.
STEP 6
Pour in olive oil and mix thoroughly again.
STEP 7
Place the sauce in the refrigerator to cool. In addition, all components require some time to become more saturated.
STEP 8
Garnish the finished Tzatziki sauce with thin slices of cucumber, olives, herbs or capers.
STEP 9
Tzatziki sauce can be served with vegetables, fish, meat or just bread.

We were in Turkey and this sauce was served before the meal, while we were waiting for the order, they brought us flatbreads and this sauce. We ate it all with flatbreads and it was delicious
