Tzatziki sauce enhances Greek dishes and is easy to make at home in 15 minutes without cooking. Essential ingredients include cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and either dill or mint. The key is to use Greek yogurt, which is strained for a thicker consistency, as opposed to regular yogurt that contains more liquid and can result in a watery dip. Additionally, draining excess moisture from grated cucumber ensures a richer sauce, crucial for the balance of flavors in this beloved condiment.
"When making tzatziki sauce, always use Greek yogurt as its base to achieve the creamy, thick texture essential for a perfect dip or dressing."
"Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey, allowing for a denser consistency, unlike regular yogurt which can lead to a watery sauce."
