Instructions

Combine the ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the plain Greek yogurt, shredded or diced English cucumber, fresh lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow at least 24 hours for the flavors to fully develop and meld together for the best taste.

Notes

If using dried dill instead of fresh, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon as dried herbs are more concentrated.
For a thicker consistency, strain the cucumber to remove excess moisture before adding.
Tzatziki is best served chilled and can be paired with grilled meats, pitas, or fresh vegetables.
