Tzatziki is also called raita and, at my first restaurant job, triangle sauce, because we put it on the spanakopita triangles. It’s the only way I eat yogurt. Pretty much the only way I eat cucumber. And dill (except for rye bread dip). Tzatziki is a law unto itself, and it is a revelation on grilled sausage.
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used Greek)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dill
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup cucumber (or more, to taste), peeled, seeded, and diced
Mix all ingredients together. That’s it. Viola! Put it on anything you like, especially sausage! (It’s also good as a vegetable dip, on gyros, and on falafel.)
