- 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy yogurt or Greek yogurt
- 1 packed cup cucumber grated with large holes of box grater
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs finely chopped, pick one or more between dill, mint, flat-leaf parsley, or purslane
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Finely chop the fresh herbs
In a bowl, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt
Mix all ingredients together until well combined
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately
Notes
Tzatziki is mainly Greek but similar sauces are found in Turkey, the Balkans, Cyprus, and the Middle East
Serve as a topping, dip, starter, or side dish with grilled vegetables, salads, pita bread, fritters, or falafel
To make it dairy-free, use non-dairy yogurt instead of Greek yogurt
