Notes
Greek yogurt: For the best, most flavorful tzatziki, I recommend using full-fat plain Greek yogurt. I have used reduced fat and non-fat with good results, but my favorite is definitely the full-fat option for best flavor!Cucumber: squeeze the grated cucumber, wrapped in paper towels or in your hands, over the sink to get rid of excess liquid before adding to the tzatziki sauce mixture.
