Homemade yogurt sauce - tsatsiki
"Tsatsiki" refers to traditional sauces of Greek cuisine. In Greece it is made from yogurt, fresh cucumbers, garlic, salt and spices. Due to the presence of grated fresh cucumber, the sauce has a refreshing taste. Garlic gives a pleasant, unobtrusive sharpness, and dill adds its unique flavor. All these ingredients are harmoniously combined with the base of the sauce - homemade yogurt. And as advice on the cooking process: instead of wine vinegar you can use lemon juice. If you put "Tsatsiki" in the refrigerator for a few hours before eating, the taste of the sauce will only win: it will become more saturated.
