How do you say tzatziki?

Greek can be a little tricky, so here's a quick hint: Both of the "tz" in tzatziki are pronounced like the "zz" in pizza… there's a hint of a "t" sound in there, but it's mostly "zzz." So, phonetically, it sounds like "za-zeekey."

What's in tzatziki sauce?

The main ingredients in tzatziki are creamy whole milk Greek yogurt and fresh cucumber. Other popular Greek ingredients—namely, lemon and olive oil—lend their flavors, along with fresh dill and mint.

What kind of cucumbers are used in tzatziki?

Any cucumbers will do, but thin-skinned cucumbers such as English or Persian are great because they don't have to be peeled before being grated for this sauce. No matter which cucumbers are used, be sure to squeeze them in a paper towel to get rid of the extra water, which could make the tzatziki sauce runny and dilute the flavor.
