BEST TIPS FOR MAKING TZATZIKI SAUCE
Make sure your grated cucumber is well-drained. If you have time, you can drain it in a fine-mesh sieve overnight.
If you’re in a rush, you can use your hands to squeeze the liquid out of the cucumber.
The longer the garlic rests in the yogurt, the less sharp bite it will have, and the better it will taste.
For best results, combine all of the ingredients except for the cucumber and dill, then let it rest overnight in the fridge while your cucumber is draining.
Add the dill at the last minute so it doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the flavors.
