Tzatziki sauce (keto style)

When it comes to greek food, the only thing we love more then gyro meat is the Tzatziki sauce that goes with it. The problem with many store bought ones is they have questionable ingredients. This recipe fixes that and its lower calorie and it has good ingredients.
Prep Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Lowfat greek yogurt (use our recipe)
  • 1 english cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic (or 3 cloves minced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Mineral salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (white is preferable)
  • 1 sprig Dill, chopped (or half tsp dried)

Instructions

  • Peel cucumber and chop it into small piece
  • Place cucumber in paper towels or cheese cloth and squeeze some of the water out
  • In a bowl, combine Yogurt with all ingredients and mix well.
  • Allow mixture to sit in fridge for a minimum of 1 hour before serving. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. Allowing to sit overnight brings out the best flavor

Notes

If you use our recipe in cronometer, you will see it says there is 1.7 carbs per serving. That's because there is no way to tell cronometer to take out the carbs that removed by the whey in the yogurt making stage. This recipe utilizes 4 servings of our yogurt recipe, which shows up as 15 total carbs. When you subtract the amount of whey removed, it comes out to 5 total carbs for 4 servings. (2.5 carbs per serving). If you remove the 10 total carbs from this recipe and divide by 15 (total number of servings) you get 1.1 carbs per serving.
