Receta Tzatziki (low fat version)

by Madison House Chef

This simple, straightforward tzatzik (aka “cucumber sauce” per daughter Madeleine) makes a light flavorful condiment or dip.

Here's a delicious version.

Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber, peeled, finely shredded
• 3/4C Greek Yogurt, organic, 0% fat (drain liquid if needed)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp dill, fine
• the juice of half a small lemon
• kosher salt

Directions

1. Cut off ends of cucumber, peel and shred. Place shredded cucumber into cheesecloth, sprinkle with a little bit of kosher salt. Allow moisture to drain from shredded cucumber, about 15 minutes. Squeeze out any remaining moisture.

2. In a medium bowl combine yogurt, garlic, dill and lemon juice. Stir to combine.

3. Fold cucumber into yogurt mixture.

4. Chill, 1 hour.

NOTE: I use a small cheese grater to shred the cucumber.
