creamy bowl of tzatziki — a classic Greek sauce or dip made from yogurt, cucumber, garlic, herbs, and olive oil. It’s perfectly thick, silky, and fresh-tasting — just how authentic tzatziki should be. A great tzatziki should hold its shape and not become runny, even after resting in the fridge.
🛒 Why It Matters That It’s Thick
Many homemade tzatziki end up too watery because:
- The cucumber releases too much liquid.
- The yogurt used is too thin.
In the best versions, all excess moisture is removed early in the process so the finished sauce stays rich and creamy.
📸 Ingredients You’ll Need
Below are images showing typical tzatziki ingredients.
🍶 Thick Greek Yogurt
✔ Full-fat Greek yogurt is key — it’s the foundation of the creaminess.
🥒 Cucumber (Grated & Drained)
✔ You must remove excess water from grated cucumber so your tzatziki doesn’t turn mushy.
🧄 Garlic
✔ Fresh grated garlic adds classic flavor.
🍋 Lemon + Olive Oil + Herbs
✔ Olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), and fresh herbs like dill for brightness.
