Creamy Cucumber Dill Sauce (Tzatziki Style)

Sauces and Gravies Recipes
The secret to refreshing cucumber sauces always lies in the preparation of the cucumber. This sauce is an excellent alternative to mayo-based dressings: lighter, fresher, and more characterful thanks to the dill. An ideal companion for salmon or grilled chicken.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the cucumber, salt it lightly, let it sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid.

Tip: If you leave the water in, it will dilute the sour cream.
2 ✓

Mix the sour cream, oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and spices.

Tip: The oil forms an emulsion with the sour cream, making it creamier.
3 ✓

Fold in the cucumber and dill.

4 ✓

Rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Tip: The flavors (especially the garlic) need time to open up in the fat.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it bitter?
Cucumber ends can sometimes be bitter. Taste before grating, and if needed, cut off more from the end. Dried dill can also cause an off-taste; use fresh.
