Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki Sauce

adapted from Food Network

This tzatziki sauce is a variation using yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and fresh mint instead of dill. 

By using a thicker Greek yogurt prevents you from having to strain regular yogurt for 2 hours in a kitchen towel suspended over a bowl for 2 hours.

Refrigerate leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It makes a great dip for vegetables.
