Taziki Sauce

Taziki sauce is a creamy, herby, fresh sauce. It's used in Mediterranean dishes. Have you ever tried it?

I love it! The Greek yogurt is super creamy. It's great for dipping veggies (or crudité if you're feeling a bit fancy). It pairs well with meat, rice, spanakopita (recipe to come) and pretty much anything Mediterranean.

Also, I'm definitely using the term "recipe" here lightly. It's such an easy "recipe" that I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "recipe." Anyway, you should definitely make it and enjoy it!

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 0 minutes

Serves: 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I prefer 2% or whole yogurt here for a creamy dip)

¼ cup English cucumber, minced (~1.5 – 2 inches of cucumber)

1 teaspoon dill, minced

1 Tablespoon parsley, minced

The zest of one lemon (optional)

1 teaspoon Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 clove garlic, minced

Equipment
Cutting board
Chef's knife
Small mixing bowl
Microplane
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Spatula

Instructions

Add Greek yogurt to small mixing bowl. Add cucumber, herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

I like to make this at least 30 minutes before serving, so the flavors can mix and meld. This can be made ahead and refrigerated. So, it's great for entertaining or weeknight meals. Enjoy!
