  • If you’re interested solely in the recipe, skip this bullet point and keep on reading. For those interested in sourcing nutrient-dense food, low-toxic household products, and discounts on brands that may support your AB journey, you may find value in my product guides. Head over to this page if you’d like to check them out. All are free (and always will be).

Shred the cucumber.

  • Skin the cucumber if you prefer, although you can leave the skin on for a crunchier texture.
  • Take your vegetable grater and shred the cucumber, getting down to the seed pit but not shredding the seeds. If you do not have a vegetable grater, dice the cucumber into very small cubes.
  • Pat the shredded or diced cucumber dry with a paper towel and soak up as much water as you can.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce.

  • Add the shredded or diced cucumber to the greek yogurt. If using, add the minced or pureed garlic.
  • Add a dash or two of salt and stir to combine all ingredients.
  • Note: if you go through tons of salt in your household like we do, check out this salt purchasing hack that will save you money + make things more efficient. We started this last year, and I'm so happy we did!
  • Let the sauce rest in the fridge for 15+ minutes before serving. Enjoy!
  • Meal idea: Street Gyro Bowls.
  • When it comes to storing leftovers, follow the storage instructions on the greek yogurt product you used.
