Notes
How to prep cucumbers for authentic Greek tzatziki sauceYou don’t have to drain the cucumbers if you don’t want to. There are plenty of times I just hollow out the seeds with a spoon (and discard them), then dice cucumbers and throw them directly in this yogurt sauce.But if I have the time, I go the extra step and get out the food processor or box grater to make grated cucumbers. Then, I smoosh the cucumbers between paper towels, sprinkle on a little salt and let the cucumbers dry out the excess water for about 15 minutes.See the recipe: https://sipbitego.com/tzatziki-sauceSee the recipe video for homemade tzatziki sauce on Sip Bite Go’s YouTube.
