Description
This tzatziki salad dressing is a tasty, salad dressing version of classic tzatziki sauce. It tastes just as good as tzatziki but it is smooth and slightly more runny so it pours well over salad.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup cucumber, peeled and quartered
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 to 2 tbsp fresh dill, minced (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and dill to a food processor. Pulse a few times, then blend until smooth.
- Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any leftover chunks. Pour over your salad and serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Mix well before pouring over your salad.
- Serving Ideas: This dressing works well with salads that are made with romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onions, avocados and/or feta cheese. See the blog post for more ideas on building a salad.
