Tzatziki Sauce Recipe With Toasted Za'atar Pita

Have you ever tried making a Greek Tzatziki sauce recipe? Creamy Greek yogurt is combined with cool cucumbers and spiced with garlic, dill, and lemon. It is simple, fresh, and healthy. I paired it with toasted pita bread to make a fabulous New Year's Eve appetizer! Healthy Breakfast | Healthy Recipes | Healthy Snacks | Healthy | Healthy Food | Healthy Meals

Yield: 3 Servings

Ingredients:
For the tzatziki
2 cups plain Greek Yogurt
cheesecloth, for draining yogurt, optional
1 English cucumber, diced small
1 teaspoon kosher salt, for cucumbers
And so on.

Instructions:

Step one. If you would like to strain the yogurt to make a thicker tzatziki (which is more traditional), add 2 cups plain Greek yogurt to a large rectangle of cheesecloth. Strain the yogurt over a bowl for about a half hour to an hour. I placed the cheesecloth over a colander and then set the whole thing over a bowl, and left it in the fridge.

Step two, Meanwhile, slice the cucumber lengthwise, scrape out the center with a spoon, then dice. You can also grate it if that sounds easier to you, but I prefer to dice small. (see photos). Add the cucumber to a mesh strainer and set over a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3, Use your hands to squeeze the salted cucumber over the sink. (don't rinse it ) Try to get out as much liquid as possible.
