Directions
Tzatziki Sauce– Greek Cucumber/Yogurt Sauce,This is the cool and creamy sauce that usually is served as a condiment on Greek Gyro sandwiches. The recipe calls for the thicker, Greek Yogurt, also called, “Greek Cheese”. If you can’t find this type of yogurt, you can use plain, regular yogurt from the grocery store. But in order to get the sauce to the desired thicker consistency, you need to suspend the yogurt in a cheesecloth for a couple of hours to drain some of the water off. If you don’t mind it moderately runny, you can just make it as is and it is still delicious, just a little more messy. Make this with Recipezaar recipe #285900, Gyros- An Authentic Recipe For Making Them At Home Enjoy!,I have looked up at least 10 recipes for tzatziki sauce, yours by far is the most detailed!! Salt to draw out water, paper towel, mix to taste, saying mint, dill options etc. food.com I will go to you first for future reference.,I worked for a Greek/Lebanese restaurant, and we would make this with sour cream instead of yogurt. Really tasty!
