Tzatziki

Santa Cruz Organic® Products used in this Recipe:


This is light and multi-purpose sauce inspired by Greek traditional cooking but without traditional labor to prepare it. Make a good batch of this, as it keeps for at least a week, and enjoy with grilled lamb kebabs or chops, as a vegetable dip, in a stuffed pita pocket or condiment with a veggie burger.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups non-fat or low-fat plain (organic) yogurt
  • 1 each English cucumber, rinsed clean, unpeeled, ends trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Santa Cruz Organic® 100% Lemon Juice
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint or dill, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mint or dill and blend together.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with mint or dill sprig and a drizzle of olive oil; refrigerate until ready to serve
