World's Best Tzatziki Sauce

I do sincerely have to thank Kalyn’s Kitchen for this Tzatziki Sauce recipe. I didn’t have everything that her recipe called for, so this is what I ended up using. You really have to go see her recipe for the step-by-step instructions with pictures. She did such an awesome job of it!

World’s Best Tzatziki Sauce

Adapted from Kalyn’s Kitchen’s recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 BIG cucumber, peeled and seeded
• 2 -3 cloves of garlic
• 6 oz. (3/4 c.) plain Greek yogurt
• 6 oz. (3/4 c.) light sour cream (or use all Greek yogurt … makes for a more traditional tzatziki … I just didn’t happen to have enough Greek yogurt on hand, so I substituted some sour cream)
• a bunch of fresh dill (about 1 T. of the fine green ends, chopped … that’s what Kalyn says … I didn’t measure it!)
• a few fresh mint leaves

Directions:

1. Peel and seed the cucumber, then sprinkle with salt and put in a strainer to drain off the excess juices.
2. Put the cucumber on a clean kitchen towel and pat off any excess moisture.
3. Throw the cucumber with the rest of the ingredients into a food processor and blend till smooth.
4. Use on Gyro burgers, felafel, or as a dip with crackers and vegies–or actually this might sound crazy but I think my favorite thing to dip in tzatziki sauce is french fries. Seriously! It’s SOOOoooo good.
