Cucumber Yogurt Garlic Sauce (Low Fat Tzatziki)
This cucumber yogurt garlic sauce is delicious. My version of a low calorie tzatziki has only 22 calories and 2 grams of protein per serving!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (65 g) shredded cucumber (pressed)
- 1 cup (285 g) Greek yogurt, plain, non-fat
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or more to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or more to taste)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Grate cucumber using the largest shredding side of a box grater. No need to peel cucumber first.
- Place grated cucumber in between paper towels and gently press to remove water. Do this at least two times to remove as much water as possible. If you don't remove the water, it will make your yogurt dip runny.
- In a medium bowl, add grated and pressed cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and fresh herbs. Stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (the longer the better!)
- Once the yogurt dip has chilled for at least two hours, feel free to taste and adjust salt or lemon juice to taste. Enjoy!
