HOW TO MAKE TZATZIKI SAUCE

I know. You claim you don’t have time to make a damn sauce. And  I understand. I am you. I work 8 hours a day and I do laundry on the weekend. I am damn tired too, but I also want to eat Chicken Gyros. The best option is to drive through the Best Greek restaurant in town and does take out but it will cost you $ 49 buck for a meal of three for 1 meal.  There’s no way, but to make your own, when you are on a tight budget and are trying to pay that mortgage early.

SO MAKING THIS SAUCE AND CHICKEN GYROS AT HOME IS THE BEST OPTION- it is cheaper, but you just have to muster your last energy on shredding this cucumber and grilling the chicken and sleep and rest afterward.

SO LET’S DO THIS!!!

YOGURT SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

• ¾ cup Greek yogurt
• ½ cup English cucumber, grated, squeezed dry
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.

How to Shred Cucumber  Sauce

• Peel the cucumber using a peeler.
• Use a shredder and shred the peeled cucumber.
• Cucumber is mostly made of water, so squeeze out the fluid. If you don’t squeeze out the fluid, you will have a very liquid sauce.
• Add all of the ingredients and mix completely.
• Refrigerate and cover until ready to use.
• Homemade Tzatziki Sauce can last 3 days in the refrigerator.
• WHERE CAN I USE THIS SAUCE?
  Chicken Gyros
• Beef Taco
  Beef Gyros
  Greek Salad
• CUCUMBER SUBSTITUTE

If you don’t like cucumber, you can use zucchini as a cucumber substitute and it still tastes as good as the cucumber. Just shred it using a shredder and drain excess liquid and add to the rest of the ingredients.
