Tzatziki - Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce

Today I’m bringing you a quick and easy sauce recipe: the tzatziki.

The tzatziki is a yogurt and cucumber sauce typical of the Greek and Turkish cuisine, served cold as an accompaniment to other dishes. It is one of the sauces that I like the most and we often use it to accompany burgers, keftas, salads, kebabs ... 

This is my homemade version.

Ingredients

1  unsweetened Greek yogurt - 125 g

 ½  medium cucumber, grated

1 medium garlic finely chopped

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon mustard

A pinch of ground cumin

Dill,  if you have it fresh better.

Salt

A few drops of olive oil

A few drops of wine vinegar or lemon juice.

Directions

Put in a bowl the unsweetened Greek yogurt and add the grated cucumber, drained, and the minced garlic. Mix.

Add two tablespoons mayonnaise,  a teaspoon mustard,  salt,  ground cumin and dill. We put a lot of dill, it's the star ingredient for us.

Finally add a few drops of olive oil and a dash of wine vinegar or lemon juice.

Mix well to integrate, rectify some ingredient if necessary till the taste is as desired. 

Refrigerate until served.
