The 2 Secrets to Perfect Tzatziki (Most People Get This Wrong!)

Tzatziki is one of the most famous Greek dips, and when done right, it’s thick, creamy, garlicky, and absolutely packed with flavor. But here’s the thing—most people get it wrong. The two secrets to making perfect tzatziki? Straining your own yogurt for the best texture and making sure you squeeze out every last drop of water from your cucumber. Trust me, these make all the difference!

This dip goes on everything—grilled meats, gyros, veggies, or even just a spoon (no judgment). Plus, it’s super easy to make at home in just a few minutes.
