Notes
- Dill isn't technically a traditional tzatziki sauce ingredient, but is a very popular add-in. If you are a dill fan, feel free to stir in the dill or garnish the tzatziki with it.
- Any type of cucumber is fine. For a regular cucumber, use about half. If you're using snack size cucumbers, around 2-3, depending on size.
- This recipe yields about 1 ⅓ cups.
